This study presents the experience of caring for a patient who underwent ABO-incompatible (ABOi) living-donor liver transplantation for alcoholic cirrhosis. The care period extended from March 15 to March 24, 2022. During this time, data were collected through observation, interviews, and direct care. A comprehensive assessment was conducted using Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns, and the following major health problems were identified: risk of infection, deficient knowledge, and ineffective individual coping. Liver transplantation is a life-prolonging treatment, yet the process—from preoperative assessment and surgical decision-making to postoperative recovery—poses significant physical, psychological, and daily-care challenges for both the patient and their family. These challenges served as the primary motivation for this study. In this case, holistic and continuous nursing care was provided. A strong therapeutic nurse–patient relationship was established to encourage the patient to express their inner feelings and concerns. Progressive and ongoing health education was delivered throughout the postoperative period and during daily follow-up care. This included timely responses to the patient’s questions, provision of health education manuals, and instruction in mnemonic strategies to help the patient retain and correctly apply care-related knowledge in everyday life. Given the increasing number of patients undergoing ABOi living-donor liver transplantation, it is recommended that interdisciplinary study groups and nurse–physician forums on ABOi care be held regularly. Additionally, accessible and standardized health education materials should be provided for clinical staff. By sharing this care experience, the study aims to serve as a reference for nursing personnel involved in future clinical practice. |
