Application of Narrative Nursing in Postoperative Care for a Patient with Mixed Hemorrhoids: A Case Report
This case focuses on a single patient with mixed hemorrhoids who developed anxiety due to pain and concerns about recovery after the surgery. Through the narrative nursing intervention, which is characterized by humanistic care, the importance of personalized psychological care for postoperative patients' overall recovery is highlighted. During the implementation of the nursing process, a trusting nurse-patient relationship was established through patient-centered communication and professional attitude, and the nursing assessment of the source of the patient's anxiety, their understanding of the disease, and their rehabilitation needs was completed. Based on the assessment results, a nursing diagnosis and goal of "relieving anxiety and improving rehabilitation compliance" were established, and a targeted narrative nursing plan was formulated. The nursing implementation stage centered on "listening - reconstructing - supporting", carefully listening to the patient's narratives about the pain of the disease and postoperative concerns, accurately capturing their psychological needs; at the same time, providing continuous psychological support and rehabilitation guidance. The nursing evaluation showed that the patient's anxiety significantly alleviated, and they were discharged successfully, with good recovery status during the follow-up period. This case suggests that narrative nursing can effectively build a communication bridge between nurses and patients, understand the individualized psychological needs of postoperative patients, and is an effective means to improve their psychological state and enhance treatment and nursing compliance. This case report provides a specific practical example of psychological care for postoperative patients with mixed hemorrhoids for clinical nursing staff, proves the application value of narrative nursing in postoperative patient care in surgery, and provides useful references for enriching clinical nursing methods and improving nursing quality.
