This article describes the nursing care experience of a hemodialysis patient hospitalized for recurrent osteomyelitis and necrotizing fasciitis of the right ankle. After recurrent infection and debridement, he faced the physical and mental shock of possible re-amputation. While the patient received hemodialysis care between June 22, 2019 and July 28, 2019, data were collected through direct care, observation, interviews, and review of medical records. Gordon's 11 functional health patterns were used for holistic assessments to confirm that the patient was not currently suffering from a dangerous infection, not receiving less nutrients than the body required, and receiving care for feelings of hopelessness. During the nursing care process, pamphlets and recordings describing the steps for changing dressings were made available to the patient, and the patient was taught the skills and knowledge necessary for wound self-care, thereby improving infection and promoting wound healing. Food models were used to instruct the patient on proper intake of adequate protein and calories in order to emphasize the importance of nutritional intake for wound healing. A nutritionist designed rich and diverse meals based on the patient's preferences. A health educator used a small number of meals to increase the amount of food the patient consumed and ensured that he received enough nutrition. The patient was encouraged to express his feelings through active care and companionship. Furthermore, the patient was provided information related to the disease and encouraged to participate in rehabilitation programs and patient support groups to enhance social support by sharing experiences and expressing emotions. Positive attitudes were improved, and treatment was framed effectively, thereby improving feelings of hopelessness. We recommend patient-centered care, educating the patient in proper selfcare skills, and ensuring understanding of the disease and its treatment plans so that patients have the autonomy to select their own treatment, thereby addressing their physical and psychological challenges. |
