英文摘要

  This is a case study describing a middle-aged man with terminal Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The patient accepted several outpatient treatments for HCC, but refused to be hospitalized. This time, he was transferred from the emergency center to be hospitalized due to the combination of both HCC and Hepatic Encephalopathy. During his hospitalization, he was further diagnosed as a terminal HCC patient needing special physical and spiritual care. From May 7 to May 21, 2011, The authors used the Gordon’s 11 Functional Healthy Assessment Model, observation, interview, physical assessment, and anamnesis checking to collect data, and confirmed that case was suffering from various health problems, including imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirement, chronic pain, hopelessness, and caregiver role strain (shown by his spouse, the major caregiver). The authors, together with the subject and his caregiver, then drafted an individualized and holistic caring plan, including deep breathing, music therapy, and essential oil massage to reduce the pain. Also, the authors helped increase the subject’s self-care ability to enhance his self-esteem and reduce the sense of hopelessness. The nutritional problems were solved through nutritional assessment, as well as the cancer-dietary guidance provided by the nutritionist, finding out the major cause of malnutrition, and therefore providing a more balanced diet and health education. After evaluating the caregiver’s pressure and difficulties, the authors further provided care-taking techniques and coordinated the sharing of caring loading among the subject’s relatives to ease caregiver role strain. During the nursing process, in addition to offer care-taking knowledge and skills, the authors offered psychological support to both the subject and his caregivers, played the intermediary role among various departments, and timely introduced the subject to the palliative care team in order to give him and his caregivers a more comprehensive and persistent care. The strengthening of palliative-care training and the enrichment of hardware and software equipment were also recommended to an effort to offer the best caring quality in the future.
