Nursing Experience of Moxibustion at Baihui Point Combined with Auricular Moxibustion for a Postoperative Breast Cancer Patient with Sleep Disorder
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a postoperative breast cancer patient with sleep disorder. The patient presented with difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings, and excessive dreaming, with total sleep time less than 3 hours per night. Through comprehensive analysis of contributing factors, integrated interventions were implemented including pain management, psychological care, dietary adjustment, sleep environment optimization, and physical exercise, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies of moxibustion at Baihui (GV20) point and auricular moxibustion. These interventions significantly improved the patient's sleep quality, extending nighttime sleep duration to 5 hours. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score decreased from 17 to 11, indicating improvement from severe to mild sleep disorder.
