本文探討一位糖尿病腎病變之中年人,因血糖控制不佳導致需長期血液透析,引發個案對未來將長期血液透析的無力感,利用Gordon十一項健康功能型態為評估工具,確立個案有血糖不穩/與生活習慣及疾病觀念不足有關、知識缺失/與暫時性雙腔靜脈導管、動靜脈瘻管傷口照護有關及無力感/與害怕永久洗腎及疾病所帶來併發症有關及照顧者角色緊張/與無照顧經驗有關等健康問題。過程中,提供糖尿病腎病變末期適當飲食指導,強化疾病自我管理;因放置暫時性雙腔靜脈導管及手術建立動靜脈瘻管,教導個案居家照護技巧及維持動靜脈瘻管良好功能注意事項。期望藉此護理經驗能提供護理人員日後照護此類病人之參考。
This article explores the case of a middle-aged patient with diabetic nephropathy. Long-term hemodialysis is caused by poor blood sugar control, causing a sense of powerlessness for long-term hemodialysis. Gordon's Functional Health Pattern Assessment identified major health problems of the patient consisting of unstable blood glucose, a lack of knowledge, and a sense of powerlessness and tension with the caregiver. Proper dietary guidance suitable for individualized lifestyle and intensified disease self-management for end-stage diabetic nephropathy were provided. In addition, due to the placement of temporary double lumen catheter and the establishment of native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), patient education regarding home-based care and AVF maintenance was also given to prevent catheter infection, facilitate a return to normal home life and improve the patient’s self-care ability. By providing relevant caring experience, nursing staff might apply such knowledge as a future reference.
