摘要
本篇個案報告描述一位44歲中年男性罹患軟骨肉瘤末期的病人，照護期間為2019年8月15日至8月24日，筆者藉由會談、觀察、查閱病歷及運用生理、心理、社會及靈性層面進行評估，確立個案有低效性呼吸型態、疼痛、哀傷等健康問題。病人除需調適癌末造成的生理不適外，還須面臨人生即將到生命盡頭與家人生死分離的不捨和擔心，對幼子在成長過程中，自己沒能陪伴在旁感到遺憾，故與家屬討論後協助運用過往相片製成影片檔留給兒子陪伴成長，讓幼子想念父親時，可藉由影片看見父親的身影，並將這份父愛傳遞下去陪伴其成長，以了卻心願，亦讓幼子每天來醫院做短暫的陪伴，讓個案與年幼孩子享受最後天倫之樂，讓他了無牽掛渡過人生最後時光，亦建議與個案兒子溝通時可運用繪本引導其理解的話語與之說明，讓其瞭解父親即將離世，以達到圓滿善終之目的。

This case report describes the nursing care for a 44-year-old male, who was diagnosed with terminal stage of chondrosarcoma, during the period from August 15 to August 24, 2019. The author, through interviews, observations, medical records, and a four dimensions assessment in the aspect of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual, identified the following health problems, which included ineffective breathing pattern, pain, grief and so on. In addition, the patient, while coping with the physical discomfort caused by the cancer, also had to face the end of life and the fear of separation from his family. One of his biggest regrets was that he was unable to spend time with his youngest child or watch him grow up. Therefore, we discussed with his family how to assist in this situation to make his wish come true. We used his old photos to make a video file, which will be used to help his son get to know him as he grows up. Furthermore, he hoped his child could feel his fatherly love coming through the video. In the meantime, his youngest son was brought to the hospital to stay with him. All this allowed him to enjoy the family time in his final days without regrets. It was also suggested that the patient made use of the picture books to express his feelings and help the young child understand that his father was leaving the world, all of which could deliver the goal of a happy ending.
