摘要

本文在探討一位乳癌末期病人身、心、靈至善終之照護經驗，照護期間自2012年6月5日至2012年6月21日止。筆者為外科病房護理人員，運用觀察、會談及身體評估等技巧收集資料及評估，發現個案有低效性呼吸型態、疼痛、無望感及家屬的預期性哀傷之護理問題。針對個案所出現之問題， 給予個別性之護理措施，積極協助症狀之控制，有效減緩疼痛及呼吸窘迫情況。另外透過觀察、會談與傾聽，發現個案與家屬面臨死亡迫近的焦慮與哀傷，透過團隊的合作，協助個案與家屬互相表達情感，並鼓勵病患及家屬在有限的時間裡，相互傾訴對預期性哀傷的感受，交代後事的處置，給予身體、心理、靈性之全人照護，協助個案及家屬一起面對臨終的過程。照護期間筆者雖感受到病人的困境，卻無法運用良好溝通技巧引導病人說出心中的苦悶，最後與安寧共照師來一同協助溝通引導病人。因深感照護技巧顯不足，因此建議病房護理人員應多涉略有關心理諮商及溝通的技巧，提升自己對瀕死病人整體性照護能力，協助病人面對死亡。因在急性病房接受安寧共照個案越來越多，希望藉由此個案給予急性病房人員照顧上的經驗分享，落實安寧療護不設限於安寧病房之限制。
