This article presents a nursing experience of a newborn and caregivers affected by Schaaf- Yang Syndrome, a rare disease. The newborn was delivered by a G2P2 mother through cesarean section at 37+3 weeks of gestation. The Apgar scores were 7 at one minute and 8 at five minutes, with a birth weight of 4100 grams. The newborn was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit due to respiratory distress, and subsequently, finger contractures, swallowing difficulties, feeding challenges, and an unexplained left femoral fracture were discovered, motivating the author to explore further. Data was collected from January 30 to March 16, 2021, through meetings, observations, physical assessments, and reviewing medical records. Nursing problems were identified as ineffective breathing patterns, ineffective newborn feeding patterns, and impaired physical mobility. The parents' problem was identified as caregiver role strain. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, family-centered care was provided. The respiratory issue was addressed through the use of a ventilator, limb activity was improved using splint fixation and joint exercises, and a speech therapist assisted with swallowing training and implementing full oral feeding to address the newborn's feeding problems. Additionally, multimedia health education videos were utilized to enhance caregivers' memory and learning, thereby reducing their stress. Given the rarity of the disease and the challenges in diagnosis, nursing staff often feel overwhelmed due to a lack of nursing information. It is recommend that pediatric nurses actively participate in seminars and workshops related to rare disease medical care and social welfare assistance. Moreover, it is important to note that parents of newborns with rare diseases frequently experience anxiety and struggle with caregiving tasks, warranting increased attention and support from healthcare professionals. Sharing this nursing experience serves as a reference for future cases requiring similar care. |
