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.
