摘要

本文描述一位腦中風主要照顧者，經歷6年漫長的照顧過程後，因個案照護需求的增加及主要照顧者年齡的增長，致使照顧者再度面臨照顧需求與負荷之居家護理經驗。護理期間自2011年10月5日至12月14日共8次訪視，藉由評估、會談、觀察等技巧收集資料。發現主要照顧者所面臨的照顧需求與負荷有：一、對新增照護技巧的不純熟：不瞭解胸腔照護方法。二、因競爭需求無法兼顧自我照顧需求。三、不了解社會資源。經由居家護理人員專業衛教及重新整合長照資源後，主要照顧者負荷可獲得適度緩解。期許本經驗的分享，可供未來照護相關個案參考。

This article describes a home nursing experience of a family of a bed-ridden patient with stroke. The family caregiver suffered from increasing caregiving burden due to increasing needs of the patient and aging of the caregiver herself. This case report was based on home nursing visits during October 5th, 2011 to December 14th, 2011. The author collected the data via assessment, interviews and observation during eight times home visits. We identified four major family caregiver's needs: (1) inadequate caregiving skills to continuously take care of patients; (2) unable to take care of oneself due to competing needs; (3) inadequate knowledge about social resources. After delivering the interventions to facilitate the utilization of long term care resources in the community, family caregiver's burden was successfully decreased. The nursing experience for this family can provided as a reference for future care of families in similar situation.
