呼吸困難是主觀的感覺,常見的測量或檢驗方式無法立即顯示病情進展速度,不易藉由臨時或緊急醫療處置而迅速緩解,病人則處於氣管內管置入與否的困境,並危及生命安全。實證問題為呼吸困難照護群組是否能改善肺癌住院病人呼吸困難程度?屬於治療型問題,群組措施包括:氧氣治療、噘嘴呼吸訓練、肺部復健、電風扇、嗎啡、雙向正壓呼吸器。經實證文獻評讀步驟,研究設計偏差的評分結果在12.5~87.5%,結合呼吸困難費力量表,設計「照護群組」雙面卡,醫護人員及病人對呼吸困難照護群組執行後的滿意度各為85.6%及87.5%。本案利用實證護理教育,結合呼吸困難評估工具及實證措施,證實肺癌住院病人呼吸困難緩解需要多專業團隊組合的照護群組及監測,以符合醫療資源有效應用及出院準備的長期目標。
Dyspnea is a subjective perception which cannot be used to immediately reflect patients' conditions on medical equipment or with tests. If the symptom cannot be easily relieved by medical treatments, patients face the dilemma of intubation risks and life-threatening complications. A clinical question exists whether the dyspnea care bundle mitigates dyspnea in hospitalized lung cancer inpatients. The dyspnea care bundle includes six interventions: oxygen therapy, pursed-lip-breathing, pulmonary rehabilitation, fan, Morphine, and biphasic positive airway pressure (BiPAP). We researched some original related literatures and designed a double-sided card combining the dyspnea exertion scale (DES) and six interventions. After the implementation of the dyspnea care bundle, the satisfaction rates of multidisciplinary team members and patients are 85.6% and 87.5%, respectively. Through the evidence-based education and practices, this study revealed that the dyspnea care bundle with its multidisciplinary collaboration could benefit the hospitalized lung cancer patients while reaching the goal of effective medical resources management and adequate discharge preparations.
