This article aims to explore the nursmg experience in an alcoholic case with newly diagnosed diabetes type 2. The nursing period was from August 12th to 19th, 2016. The author collected data through interview, observation, physical examination, and medical record review. With an assessment of the patient’s care needs in physical, emotional, social, spiritual and developmental aspects, the identified major care problems were imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements, ineffective health maintenance, and powerlessness. To establish a good relationship with the case, I initially applied active caring, empathy, listening and accompany skill. I also referred this case to outpatient clinic of abstinence from alcohol, and provide health education about the impact of long-term alcohol drinking on blood sugar control and nutrition, and consultation of nutritionists through diet education and diet substitution principle, and gradually improve the problem of underweight. To reach a stable blood sugar control, I taught him blood sugar control measures, self-monitoring blood sugar skills to enhance his disease awareness and his own care individually. I hope that I could reduce his anxiety of the disease, enhance self-control capacity and confidence of self-control through other diabetic patient sharing and family support system. He would have positive mind facing the changes of life and lived with the disease. This nursing experience is shared with nurses taking care of patients with a similar condition. |
