The purpose of this study was to report the nursing care experiences of a 65-year-old male who underwent live donor partial hepatectomy as a donor. The patient´s wife who has suffered from hepatitis B carrier related endstage liver cirrhosis complicated with jaundice, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy was in urgent need of liver transplantation. All their children were hepatitis B carriers which contraindicated them from being a donor. With our upper donor age limit being 60 years, after a throughout evaluation by our liver transplantation team and discussions with the patient and family members, the patient decided to undergo living liver donation. The period of nursing care was from October 1, 2016 to October 9, 2016. The author collected data through direct observation, interviews, listening and actual participation in the caring process. The Roy´s adaptation model was used as a guide to assess the physical, psychological, spiritual and social aspects of the patient. He was further evaluated to see if the patient suffered from anxiety, fear or post-operative acute pain. Moreover, possible operative complications and care precautions related to surgical procedure were informed in layman´s term. We also participated in the bedside rounding and were involved in the postoperative treatment plans with the physicians. Through multidisciplinary teamwork, we were able to assist the patient to overcome not just the postoperative discomforts, but also to solve physiological and psychological issues which further restored the patient´s quality of life. |
