Nursing Experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing for a Patient with Dry Eye Syndrome
This article summarizes the effects and nursing experience of applying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing techniques—Chinese herbal fumigation and washing combined with auricular acupressure and acupoint massage—to intervene in one case of dry eye patient. Based on systematic nursing assessment, specialized TCM nursing techniques were implemented, supplemented by enhanced lifestyle, dietary, and emotional care during treatment. The patient's Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score decreased from 3 pre-intervention to 0; the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score decreased from 31 to 10; the Schirmer test results increased from 5 mm (right eye) and 4 mm (left eye) to 12 mm (right) and 11 mm (left); the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score decreased from 16 to 8; and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score decreased from 16 to 10. The TCM-specific nursing techniques significantly alleviated dry eye symptoms by dredging periocular meridians, promoting tear secretion, and regulating visceral functions, effectively relieving anxiety and improving the patient's quality of life.
