This case report describes a nursing care experience where the Kolcaba's Comfort Theory was applied in the care of a terminal patient with endometrial cancer. The associated health problems, including nausea and vomiting, pain, and anticipatory grief, were affirmed after an integrated assessment conducted via observation, physical examination, interviews, and medical record review. The Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, addressing relief, ease and transcendence, was applied during the nursing care period, which lasted between March 11 and April 13, 2020. The patient and family members were encouraged to use aromatherapy, music listening, and acupressure to increase the comfort of the environment and alleviate physical distress. In line with comfort care, the medical team provided individual care and suggestions to assist the patient and family members with life review, emotional expression, and living will discussion. Finally, the medical team assisted the patient to write messages in the bottles for her family to ameliorate anticipatory grief and achieve psychospiritual and sociocultural comfort. This case report is hoped to provide medical staffs with a reference for applying the comfort theory to terminal patient care.
