This article describes a patient in the final stage of chronic renal insufficiency caused by gout and requires long-term hemodialysis. During the initial treatment hemodialysis treatment, hypervolemia, ignorance about the hemodialysis process, the symptoms of final stage of chronic renal insufficiency and the failure of AV fistula led to patient anxiety. An evaluation was conducted using the methods of observation,
communication and physical examination as well as Gordon’s Health Pattern Typology. The patient was determined to have problems such as hypervolemia, anxiety and insufficient knowledge. Guidance and repeated instruction were therefore provided during hemodilaysis to teach the patient about the disease and enhance the patient’s self-care ability.The patient was also encouraged to express her feelings and thoughts to help her come to terms with the treatment process.During complementary therapies the essential oils in aromatherapy were absorbed through
massages, baths and inhalation treatments to keep the patient physically and mentally fit.The patient was shown how to cope with stress, adapt to the lifestyle changes caused by disease and face the impact of illness with a positive attitude.
