Abstract

While leukemia continues to represent a dreaded, often terminal disease, many new drugs and treatments have been developed in the past two decades. The life span of those afflicted by leukemia has been lengthened, and in some instances the patients have been cured. The treatment is often aggressive with life-threatening side effects. The nurse is faced with many demands when caring for the patient with leukemia who is undergoing therapy. An understanding of the disease process and the treatment is necessary to give optimal nursing care. In addition, the psychologic impact of this disease on patient and family requires time and special interventions from the nursing staff. Care of these challenging patients need not be viewed with pessimism and gloom. When quality care is delivered, both patient and nurse share the gratifying experience of working to achieve the hope and goal of continued life.

摘要

虽然白血病仍然是一种可怕的、往往致命的疾病，但在过去二十年里已经开发出了许多新药和治疗方法。白血病患者的寿命延长了，在某些情况下患者已被治愈。治疗往往很激进，会产生危及生命的副作用。在护理正在接受治疗的白血病患者时，护士面临着许多要求。了解疾病过程和治疗方法对于提供最佳护理是必要的。此外，这种疾病对患者及其家人的心理影响需要时间以及护理人员的特殊干预。护理这些具有挑战性的患者不必抱有悲观和沮丧的态度。当提供高质量护理时，患者和护士都能分享为实现延续生命的希望和目标而努力的令人欣慰的经历。
