Breast abscess is an acute inflammatory reaction during lactation. Traditional treatment requires surgical incision and drainage to clear the abscess, which often interrupts breastfeeding. This article is the nursing experience to care for a primipara with breast abscess from interruption to re-breastfeeding. The author collected the subjective and objective data by means of observation, physical assessment, and interviews during the nursing period from March 21to May 31, 2016. Acute pain, anxiety, and ineffective personal coping health problems were assessed and identified by applying the Roy adaptation model. The author understood that the patient felt uneasy for not knowing whether it was more comfortable to continue the breastfeeding and struggle to receive treatment after removing the breast abscess, which triggered the author's motivation to care for the case through outpatient consultation. The intervention assisted the patient to positively face the interruption of breastfeeding due to treatment, by timely solving the problem of breast abscess and assisting her to re-establish the lactation program to enhance the confidence of childbearing by listening to the inner feelings of the case, guiding her to express emotions and caring for her needs, by further providing knowledge for treatment of breast abscesses to achieve the goal of continuous breastfeeding. It is recommended that medical institutions establish better breastfeeding support systems for women who are suffering from breastfeeding side effects and assist women with such breast problems to breastfeed successfully and continuously.
