Abstract

TITLE: 一位尼曼匹克疾病C型末期合併呼吸困難住院病童之護理經驗. 本文敘述一位尼曼匹克疾病C型(Niemann-Pick disease type C)末期病童住院照護經驗,照護期間從2018年4月至6月。尼曼匹克疾病C型是一種基因異常之罕見疾病,因無法代謝脂質導致肝脾腫大、呼吸困難及中樞神經退化。因罕見疾病個案數少,醫護人員缺乏相關照護經驗,故對於症狀評估、用藥調整,及預測生命存活期等均有困難,加上面對家屬情緒的隱形壓力,末期照護困難重重。筆者藉由整體性和家庭評估,了解病童與其家庭之護理問題,確立主要護理問題為呼吸困難與照顧者角色緊張,故啟動多專業團隊照護協助症狀控制及出院準備,並藉由安寧緩和家庭會議整合相關資源,再經家庭會議建立家人共識,讓病童順利出院返家及持續醫療關懷,不僅提升病童照護品質及家庭凝聚力並減輕照顧者負荷。期望能藉由分享此照護經驗,作為罕病末期病童出院準備服務之參考。.
