This study described a nursing care experience of a newborn with perinatal asphyxia from December 12 to March 14, 2019. This 37-week-5-day old newborn showed no breath and heartbeat during delivery, and was admitted to NICU after first aid. Therapeutic hypothermia was conducted to relieve permanent neurologic sequelae. This client suffered from irreversible and permanent neurologic damage and complications due to hypoxia and therapeutic hypothermia. The joy of having a new baby turned into a nightmare for the parents. Their emotional journey was the motivation of this case study. Systematic observation, direct care, medical records review and interviews were conducted to collect data. Roy's adaptation model was used for evaluation, and the health issues included (1) gas exchange impairment, (2) change in brain tissue perfusion, and (3) role stain of the caregivers. During nursing care, development care, containment and focused care was implemented. To reduce the complications due to therapeutic hypothermia, the client was soothed, proper positioning was performed and environmental stimuli was controlled. A family-centered care, empathy, and encouragement were provided to the parents. An individualized caring plan was designed based on holistic care model to relieve the anxiety of the parents. They were encouraged to participate in the caring process to establish parental attachment and increase caring skills. It is suggested that kangaroo care, breast feeding and parent-child reading were provided as soon as possible in NICU to facilitate parent-child connection. |
