The purpose of this article is to emphasize the role of hope as a mode of coping in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). When taking care of patients with ALS, a rapidly progressing fatal disease which has no known cure or treatment and obscure etiology, the nurse's primary aim is to assist the patient to live as fully as possible within limitations imposed by the disease. An analysis of tasks involved in the hoping process can be used as guidelines for nursing intervention with ALS patients and their families.
本文的目的是强调希望作为一种应对方式在肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）患者中的作用。在护理ALS患者时，这种疾病进展迅速、致命，病因不明且无法治愈，护士的首要目标是帮助患者在疾病所带来的限制范围内尽可能充实地生活。对希望过程中所涉及任务的分析可作为对ALS患者及其家属进行护理干预的指导方针。
