The case report describes an 82-year-old female stroke patient and coping disease process during the rehabilitation period. From November 26, 2010 to January 3, 2011, the author applied several measures for data collection and analysis, such as observation, conversation, physical evaluation and Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns to this case. The researcher found the patient had neuromuscular damage after stroke and thus, was having trouble dealing with the fact of future life changes and partial dysfunctions of bodily movement. The patient’s nursing issues included: (1) impaired swallowing; (2) impaired physical mobility; and (3) ineffective individual coping. Through proactive listening and caring, after establishing a good therapeutic relationship with the patient and family members to discuss the rehabilitation program so that the case could be a positive response to the disease, and by becoming actively involved in rehabilitation in order to maintain residual limb function and enable improvement in swallowing disturbances and disease stress, emotional support and quality of care was enhanced. In addition to providing nursing care and encouraging patients with rehabilitation treatment programs, more in-depth understanding of the psychological needs of patients and their families by nursing practitioners should be applied, in order to give emotional support and expression tending toward enhanced and holistic quality nursing care. |
