乳腺癌患者治疗后并发上肢淋巴水肿的质性研究

目的了解乳腺癌患者术后发生上肢淋巴水肿的体验。方法 2010年4—10月,我们采用质性研究中现象学研究的方法,对10例乳腺癌患者术后上肢淋巴水肿进行深度半结构式访谈,对采集资料进行类属分析。结果淋巴水肿患者的主要体验:①对淋巴水肿认识不够;②对患肢保护重视不够;③生活质量下降;④渴望淋巴水肿的治疗康复信息;⑤随着淋巴水肿病程的延长逐渐失去康复信心;⑥自我应对,减轻症状。结论乳腺癌患者术后上肢淋巴水肿的状况不容乐观,护理人员应深入了解乳腺癌患者治疗后患淋巴水肿的内心感受,在术后及时提供预防淋巴水肿的指导原则,让患者了解淋巴水肿发生后的痛苦体验,使其重视预防,避免淋巴水肿的发生与发展。
