This study explored the physical, psychological, and social needs of a young patient with acute lymphatic leukemia post-chemotherapy. The nursing care was provided from September 5 to 18, 2007. With the guideline of Gordon's 11-item functional health pattern assessment, data were collected through interview, observation, and interaction with the patient. The identified nursing problems included disturbance of body image, potential risk of infection, and difficulty in coping with the disease. A trusted therapeutic relationship was built through active concern, accompaniment, and listening, with the intention of understanding the patient's feelings and thoughts. Appropriate nursing care was provided to help the patient accept chemotherapy and cope with the change of body appearance secondary to chemotherapy. By sharing the experience of caring for a patient post-chemotherapy, the author wishes that nurses pay attention not only to patients' physical needs, but also to their psychological and social needs for the purpose of achieving individualized integral nursing care.
