摘要

本個案研究在探討一位懷孕十四週的婦女從其獲知胎兒為連體嬰到中止懷孕後兩個月的哀傷反應。筆者以主護護士的身份照護個案，照護過程共寫成九篇行為過程紀錄。所有行為過程紀錄經內容分析結果顯示，個案的哀傷反應隨時間推進可歸納成：「歷經中止懷孕的過程」與「失去與胎兒間的依附」兩大心理歷程。護理人員在此過程中，除提供身體照顧及諮商外，亦使得個案的哀傷得以表達。

The case study explores the grief responses of a woman who terminated pregnancy at 14 weeks owing to carrying Siamese twins. The study was conducted using qualitative methods, and covered the period from the mother learning of the fetal anomalies until two months after the termination of the pregnancy. As a primary nurse, the researcher collected data using nine process recordings. The process recordings then were analyzed using content analysis. Regarding the results, the grief responses in the present case included two contexts namely ”experiencing the termination process” and ”loss of attachment to the fetus”. Besides providing physical care and counseling, the researcher also provided a way to express grief and helped the case face the experience.
