因癌症導致身體外觀與功能的改變及化學治療過程中產生的副作用,對癌症青少年而言都是極大的打擊及痛苦,若未予協助及妥善處理,將對其生理、心理及社會發展等層面產生不良的影響。本文乃報告一位罹患惡性骨肉瘤青少年於化學治療中,因腫瘤復發,並接受左膝上截肢手術之照護經驗。筆者於92年12月23日至93年2月5日擔任其主護護士,在良好的護病關係中,藉由直接照顧、觀察、會談、傾聽等方式及運用會談過程記錄收集資料,以生理功能、自我概念、角色功能、相互依賴等四種羅氏之概念架構,評估個案之主要護理問題為:1.疼痛2.睡眠型態紊亂3.身體活動功能障礙4.預期性哀傷5.身體心像紊亂等五項。經過護理人員全程照護,並運用相關資源,協助個案與家屬歷經術後恢復期,最後終能建立其正向之身體心像及調適。希冀藉此護理經驗分享,提供給護理同仁作為日後臨床照護之參考。
