In this study, the nursing experience of caring for a patient with a frontal lobe tumor who had received an awake craniotomy was discussed. Between August 31, 2020, and October 20, 2020, care for the patient was administered through pre- and postoperative visits, medical record reviews, and other methods. Comprehensive assessments covering physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects were conducted before, during, and after the surgery. The health concerns identified for the patient were anxiety, verbal communication difficulties, and an enhanced need for resilience . During the caregiving process, the literature was referenced; proactive care, written communication, empathy, and psychological support were provided, encouraging the patient to express their thoughts. Through interdisciplinary medical collaborations and shared decision-making meetings with the patient’s family, the patient and their family expressed concerns and had their uncertainties addressed. A discharge plan incorporating Long-term Care Plan 2.0 interventions was also drafted, providing the patient and their family with relevant resources after discharge from the hospital, supporting a quick increase in quality of life and reducing the burden on both family and society. This is one of the few cases of awake craniotomy undertaken by the hospital. We recommend that future in-service nursing education include topics on the care of patients receiving this operation to raise awareness of this disease, as well as to equip nurses with the clinical skills to care for such patients, thereby enhancing the quality of nursing care at the hospital and improving patient care satisfaction. |
