Comprehensive Nursing Care for a Stage IIIA Ovarian Cancer Patient with Prior Hysterectomy Receiving Chemotherapy at Bandung Central General Hospital: A Case Study
Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a reproductive health problem, and is one of the causes of death for women in the world. Ovarian cancer with a history
of hysterectomy who will undergo chemotherapy will have an impact on basic human needs, so that comprehensive nursing care is needed to accelerate healing and prevent complications. The purpose of this case study is to apply nursing care to stage IIIA cancer patients with
a history of hysterectomy who are going to undergo chemotherapy. This case study technique combines a descriptive methodology with
a nursing care approach to cover the phases of assessment, diagnosis formulation, interventions, execution, and assessment. The study’s
findings led to the diagnosis of acute pain, exhaustion, and persistently low self-esteem among nurses. Two nursing diagnoses-acute pain
and fatigue-were fully addressed following nursing interventions, but the chronic low self-esteem diagnosis was only partially resolved. It
is envisioned that nurses would be able to offer more comprehensive nursing care in the form of counseling for self-paying patients.
