In this article, we described a male oral cancer patient complicated with a fungating wound who was admitted due to intolerance of severe wound pain and foul smell. We shared the nursing experience of successful management of wound pain with a new type of wound dressing. From Dec 10th to Dec 21st 2012, under the Roy’s adaptation model of nursing, the authors assessed the patient having problems of impaired tissue integrity, chronic pain, and weakness. During the process, after discussion amongst the medical team, we carried out efficient pain management, implemented a new type of wound dressing, and offered a procedure to diminish the foul smell of the wound. The pain and condition of the wound improved after the patient and his family learned the procedure. Furthermore, we reduced the rapid wound deterioration as well as the patient’s feelings of helplessness caused by lack of control over his condition. After the intervention of the nursing procedure, the patient gradually accepted the treatment with a smile. The authors would like to share this successful experience as a reference to offer nursing personnel in cancer units for pain management and wound care for oral cancer patients with fungating wounds. It could offer more comfortable care and improve quality of life for patients and their families. |
