This article describes the care experience of a case of Japanese encephalitis complicated with physical disability from September 27, 2018 to November 19, 2018. The patient was admitted to a chronic ward due to poor sputum clearance, required long-term care and had psychological problems due to a long hospital stay. Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns were applied for health assessment. Data collection was completed through observation, physical assessment, and medical records review. Health problems were identified as ineffective airway clearance/thick sputum, impaired physical mobility/Japanese encephalitis infec- tion with neuromuscular injury, and anxiety/worry about disease prognosis. Nursing interventions included: maintaining semi-Fowler’s position; chest percus- sion; deep breathing and effective coughing techniques to strengthen sputum production; a progressive rehabilitation plan combined with acupuncture treat- ment of Chinese medicine to improve part of the physical function and self-care ability, so that the case could find self-confidence and participate in rehabilita- tion; active care and letting the case to express feelings about changing tubes, and accompanying reduction of discomfort; and relieving anxiety by listening to Taiwanese songs, practicing meditation, and responding positively to the illness. It is recommended that future hospitalized patients using traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy should be covered by health insurance. We hope the sharing of this nursing experience can be beneficial to the care of similar patients.
