This article describes a woman diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer who recovered from the illness by undergoing debulking surgery and by accepting subsequent chemotherapy with a positive attitude, thereby improving the progression-free survival rate. The period of this nursing care was from February 15, 2013 to March 12, 2013. The author collected the patient's information through clinical observation and discussion, and evaluated the patient by using Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns Assessment and Meleis' theory of transitions. The patient's primary clinical problems were as follows: 1. Anxiety about nursing care before and after the operation, 2. acute pain from the operation and indwelling drainage catheters, and 3. body image disturbance caused by the lack of female genital organs. By listening to the patient and her family without criticizing the patient, and by developing a trusting relationship with the family members, the author provided health education related to the operation, reduced the patient's anxiety, helped her and her family throughout the course of the disease treatment, and improved her self-confidence regarding further therapy.
