Abstract:
Objective:To deeply understand the illness experience of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm undergoing interventional treatment, and to provide reference for formulating targeted nursing intervention programs.Methods:The semi-structured interview method of qualitative research was used to conduct in-depth interviews in 17 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm undergoing interventional treatment. Data were analyzed by content analysis method.Results:Five themes and ten sub-themes were extracted, including limited disease cognition (ignoring disease symptoms, wrong medical treatment behavior), uncertainty of disease (fear of aneurysm rupture, fear of disease recurrence), trusting in medical resources (trusting diagnosis and treatment technology, satisfactory medical service), desire for social support (hope for family members′companionship, expecting the concern of doctors and nurses), positive self-management (maintaining emotional stability, building health behaviors).Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to the physical and mental feelings of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm during the disease process, assess their needs, support and coping ability, and provide scientific and effective help to promote their physical and mental comfort.
