英文摘要 |
This case report describes a nursing experience in caring for a patient receiving low anterior resection and colostomy who experienced psychological effects generated by his rectal cancer. The duration of nursing care was from August 23, 2012 to September 6, 2012. The Gordon function health assessment guide was used to assess nursing problems. Based on clinical data collected from observations, listening, and communication, the patient experienced health problems such as anxiety, disturbance by body image, and knowledge deficit. The patient's perception of his disease changed positively after several therapeutic conversations that entailed using a therapeutic communication technique of nursing care. As the nurse-patient relationship became firmly established, the patient was gradually able to confront his disease in positively and accept standard colostomy care, and could return to a life less interrupted by his disease. This nursing experience can provide several implications for comprehensive nursing care that can be applied in similar cases. |
