本文描述一位37歲肝硬化患者,因反覆性腹水入院之護理經驗。筆者自2010年8月14日至2010年8月22日依Gordon十一項健康功能型態評估,藉由會談、觀察及身體評估等方式收集資料,確立個案主要健康問題有「體液容積過量」、「營養狀況改變-少於身體所需」、「活動無耐力」及「身體心像改變」,照護期間與營養師及家屬共同討論後,提供適切的飲食衛教及個別性護理指導,並提供漸進式活動計畫以改善活動無耐力,藉由正向鼓勵及陪同自我檢視外貌,使個案接受身體外觀因疾病進展的改變,並於出院後以電訪方式追蹤個案返家後的自我照顧能力。此護理經驗可提供臨床護理人員在照顧肝硬化合併腹水病患時,其生理及心理層面照護,能適時提供良好的護理指導及措施,增加病患自我照顧能力,同時減輕家屬照顧上的心理壓力。
