This report describes the nursing experience of a patient with physical and psychological reaction to skin reconstruction surgery for buccal squamous cell carcinoma. Gordon's 11 Function Health Patterns Assessment criteria were used to evaluate the patient from 17 to 26 July, 2012. The health problems included 1) anxiety, 2) change in the oral mucosa, and 3) body image disturbance. The author provided complete care plans during the nursing period. The patient and his family received education on wound care, with emphasis on cleaning and caring for the infection and improving the oral odor. The author also provided the information on tumor resection and artificial skin reconstruction, as well as suggestions for physical and psychological adaptation after surgery to alleviate his uncertainty and anxiety. Helping the patient to establish positive thinking and identity enabled him to return to society; this approach improves nursing care for patients with buccal squamous cell carcinoma. |
