CASE STUDY: Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.\n<\/div>\n
Sandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years\n<\/div>\n
ago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy,\n<\/div>\n
lymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin\n<\/div>\n
(Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then\n<\/div>\n
moved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of secondline chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships,\n<\/div>\n
and became more involved with her two sisters and their families.\n<\/div>\n
Sandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no\n<\/div>\n
longer work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was\n<\/div>\n
nothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her\n<\/div>\n
attorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have\n<\/div>\n
hospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and\n<\/div>\n
sleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days.\n<\/div>\n
Sandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each\n<\/div>\n
other\u2019s company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek\n<\/div>\n
assistance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friend\u2019s visits. After assessment, the VNA\n<\/div>\n
nurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential\n<\/div>\n
problem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving\n<\/div>\n
and impaired comfort.\n<\/div>\n
Reflective Questions\n<\/div>\n
1. What are some of the stresses on Sandra\u2019s middle-aged sisters and their families?\n<\/div>\n
2. What resources are available to manage these stresses and support the sisters while\n<\/div>\n
caring for their dying sister Sandra?\n<\/div>\n
3. Describe Sandra\u2019s feelings about dependency and loss of autonomy because she is\n<\/div>\n
unable to do her own activities of daily living any longer<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
