Daily care for glioma

Glioma is a malignant tumor of the brain. The harm it causes to patients is unimaginable. Patients are under tremendous mental, psychological and physical pressure. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job of nursing for patients with brain glioma for their recovery. What does the daily care of glioma include?

1. Training of self-care ability

Patients with limb weakness hope to live independently. Family members guide patients to practice various kneading methods, and then learn to use combs and brushes, wash their faces, take baths, eat food with their hands, etc., so that patients can gain a sense of belonging and emotional satisfaction, as well as the satisfaction of taking care of themselves.

2. Limb function training

During the period of hemiplegia and bed rest, family members assist in passive limb function exercises. After recovery, active activities are encouraged, such as standing exercises. Start standing with support, such as leaning against a wall, holding a cane, etc. At the same time, guide sitting and standing exercises and step-climbing exercises to improve lower limb muscle strength. As the condition improves, gradually transition from standing without support to walking. Active exercises are mainly performed on the joints of the affected upper limb, strengthening the activity of the metacarpophalangeal joints and thumb finger exercises to promote smooth recovery of hand function.

3. Psychological care

Most patients are suddenly injured in their normal life or work, or suffer from hemiplegia due to illness. The psychological changes of these patients are often manifested as depression, anger, guilt, and regret, which cause personal and family tragedies. Since patients have lost the ability to live independently, they will have many concerns about their personal life, marriage, work, and future. Therefore, family members should care for, comfort, and encourage patients, so that they can correctly treat the disease, future life and work, build confidence in the future, give full play to their subjective initiative, and cooperate with various rehabilitation treatment and nursing work with strong perseverance.

4. Language rehabilitation training

First of all, we need to give patients enough self-confidence and patience, and give timely praise and encouragement for every improvement from simple single and double sounds to sentences. We need to spend more time with patients reminiscing about the past and talking about happy things. We need to treat patients like adults coaxing children, with love and respect, so that patients can live happily every day.
