Nursing care for breast cancer patients during pain treatment

Most breast cancer patients will feel pain after surgery, which is a normal physiological reaction. But it is a very painful thing for patients. At this time, family members should encourage patients to do some physical therapy and psychological therapy to relieve pain.

One is to suggest to patients how to adjust themselves, complete three meals a day and necessary rehabilitation training.

The second is to let the patient close his eyes, sigh, yawn, etc., then bend his knees and lie flat, relax his abdominal muscles and back muscles, and do compound breathing slowly. Or you can suggest that the patient close his eyes in a quiet environment and breathe in and out deeply and slowly, so that fresh air can enter the lungs to achieve the purpose of pain relief.

Third, use massage, apply cooling painkillers to achieve the effect of pain relief, or use various temperature stimulation methods to relieve pain. For example, you can use a 65°C hot water bottle on a wet towel for local hot compress for 20 minutes each time, which can have a certain analgesic effect.

Fourthly, 2 hours after a meal, the patient can sit in a comfortable chair, close his eyes, and think about what he wants to think about for 15 minutes each time, and then sit quietly with his eyes closed for 2 minutes afterwards. You can also choose to play some cheerful music according to the patient's preferences, so that the patient can enjoy the music while doing actions such as hitting and clapping to the rhythm, or reading some jokes or listening to a cross talk.
