本文是在探討一位37歲年輕女性乳癌病人,行右側乳房切除術並立即行自體游離式深下腹動脈穿通枝皮瓣之手術全期護理經驗。護理期間為2015年2月4日至2015年2月11日,筆者運用會談、觀察、身體評估及查閱病歷方式收集資料,以手術全期為基礎,評估個案生理、心理、社會、靈性及發展等整體層面之健康問題,確認個案的健康問題,包含手術前期焦慮、手術中期潛在危險性傷害、手術後期急性疼痛因對手術流程不甚了解、擔心重建是否成功,及癌細胞是否轉移,不停地重複詢問手術相關問題,而產生焦慮不安的情緒而哭泣,因筆者為開刀房護理師常面對接受手術的乳癌病人,深刻覺得病人心理支持大於生理需要,故引發筆者探討此個案之動機。在照護過程中運用開刀房團隊資源管理(Team Resource Management, TRM),維護病人安全及舒適使手術順利完成;手術後指導個案深呼吸技巧、協助正確臥位並適時給予正向回饋,運用音樂療法轉移注意力,使個案疼痛情形改善。有鑑於臨床接受乳房重建手術的病人有日漸增加之趨勢,為了讓此類病人有更優質的照護,故建議院方引進乳癌重建手術專用的舒適枕,可適合每個病人臥位,不會因為姿勢滑動位移,未來讓更多乳癌手術病人能受惠。
This paper's purpose is to share the nursing experience of a 37 y/o female breast cancer patient who underwent immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction after a right breast mastectomy. Using peri-operative nursing care as base between February 4 to February 11, 2015, data was collected through interviews, observation, physical assessment and chart review to assess different aspects of health conditions. This was done to confirm the health issues of the patient, which include pre-operative anxiety, risk of operation related injury or mortality, and post-operative acute pain, concerns over the outcome of reconstruction, and possible metastasis. The constant doubt and questions related to surgery contribute to unstable mood, anxiety and crying. Author is an OR nurse in frequent contact with breast cancer patients and thus can feel deeply that the patients' psychological support is as important as the physiological needs. This is what motivated the author to investigate deeper the recovery path of this patient. In order to effectively perform the surgery, during the course of care, Team Resource Management (TRM)was used to maintain patient safety and comfort. TRM activities include post-surgery deep breathing technique, proper sleeping method, and musical therapy to reduce pain. It is recommended that hospitals use comfortable pillows specifically designed to stay in place for breast reconstruction patients regardless of the multiple sleeping positions.
