This thesis discusses the case of a single Vietnamese mother with breast cancer and bone metastases dealing with physical and mental health issues. She also had to cope with the financial distress and anticipated orphan care. The period of nursing carried out by the author was from July 26 to August 3, 2018. Through interviews, observation, and attentive listening, data induction as well as collection were conducted in the aspect of physiology, psychology, sociology and spirituality; and the health problems of the patient were established as ＂ineffective protection＂, ＂chronic pain syndrome＂ and ＂inability to maintain the family＂. The care process entailed providing knowledge on infection prevention after chemotherapy and immunity boosting methods, which allowed the patient to receive continuous care upon returning home. At the same time a guide to the safe use of painkillers was given. The use of acupressure, warm compression, massage techniques, distracting attention, and other measures were provided to reduce pain. The physical and occupational therapy were incorporated in the rehabilitation exercises to increase muscle tone and attain self-control of the body. Communication and the identification of issues were achieved with the assistance of a mental health counseling team, which also helped seek social resources to overcome financial difficulties, strengthening the patient's ability to live independently and to eliminate worries about her child's future. At present, the number of the new-resident alien single female spouses in our country is gradually climbing. Many of the children in these family have not yet reached adulthood when their mothers are diagnosed with cancer. To address the weak social support system and worries about the orphan care and finances, the integration of social resources can be utilized to strengthen the children's ability to live independently and acquire professional skills, thereby resolving the problem of orphan entrustment. Implementing the family-centered care concepts, we hope that these experiences can serve as a clinical care reference for the nursing staff.
