This paper described the physical, mental, spiritual, and social anxiety, stress, and pain experienced by a young female patient with colon cancer and Krukenberg tumors while dealing with pain and the threat of death. The author provided comfort care between October 30, 2012 and November 7, 2012 and found that the patient suffered from pain in multiple regions, body image disturbance, and death anxiety. The comfort care eased the patients overall pain. After establishing a relationship with the patient, communication, support, functional and symptom management, and spiritual and relaxing activities (such as massage, music therapy, and contact with nature) were used to ease the patients physical, mental, spiritual, and social discomfort. Tranquility was achieved through expression of gratitude, love, apology, and parting, improving the patients quality of life and effectively executing end-of-life care. It was found that nurses must be trained in a wide range of skills in addition to having a good attitude; for example, estimation of survival and illness trajectory. Early intervention can improve the quality of end-of-life care. Nurses should improve end-of-life care and end-stage cancer care skills to provide patient-centered and individualized care, ensuring the highest quality of patient care. |
