本文描述一位71歲男性患者因腸阻塞行腸造口之術後護理經驗,筆者於2016年08月09日至08月22日經由直接照護、觀察、身體評估、會談及與家屬互動過程中,進行生理、心理、社會及靈性層面之整體性評估及分析,並確立患者有營養少於身體所需、急性疼痛及身體心像紊亂之健康問題。於照護期間發現家屬的芳香療法特長,故引發筆者想於加護單位中藉由實證搜尋芳香療法中不同精油功效搭配聞香、按摩、外部擦拭及室內淨化空氣的方式改善腸造口患者生理及心理的不適應,搭配個別性腸造口營養攝取、製作3D立體模型進行擬真照護衛教,並發揮傾聽及溝通技巧給予腸造口患者鼓勵及支持,最後得以引導患者正視術後身心像的改變並願意參與自我照護之內容,也改善患者及家屬對於加護病房冰冷的印象,盼以此結合芳香療法之護理經驗,可提供臨床護理人員照護此類患者之參考。
