This article describes an intensive care unit (ICU) nursing experience with a patient who presented with relapses of Wegener's granulomatosis, which progressed to severe pulmonary fibrosis, ultimately requiring a lung transplant. The patient, a primary care physician, experienced a transformation of identity and both physical and mental discomfort as the illness progressed. The authors identified the patient’s health problems, including acute pain, ineffective airway clearance, activity intolerance, and low selfesteem, from July 19th to 29th, 2022. These issues were assessed using Gordon’s 11 Functional Health Patterns and through data collection via communication, listening, observation, and physical assessments. Non-pharmaceutical interventions were employed to relieve the patient's pain, and we taught him effective breathing and coughing techniques to maintain airway patency. A customized rehabilitation program was designed, and cross-disciplinary teamwork was used to address ineffective airway clearance and activity intolerance. We encouraged the patient to draw and write in a diary to express his feelings and involved his family in providing mental and emotional support during his time on the ventilator. Gradually, the patient regained his self-esteem and sense of identity. If lung transplant recipients’hemodynamic and respiratory status are stable, early and individualized rehabilitation should be implemented. Upon transfer to the ward, continued rehabilitation activities can be arranged to maintain the rehabilitation plan. We hope this nursing experience can serve as a valuable reference for clinical nurses in future care. |
