Introduction/Background
• Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in reproductive-age
women with higher risk in Black women and those with certain
health factors.
• Symptoms may include heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, infertility,
and urinary issues, though many cases are asymptomatic.
• Diagnosis uses physical exams and imaging like ultrasound,
hysteroscopy, MRI, and biopsy.
• Treatment includes hormonal therapy and surgery based on
symptoms and reproductive goals.
• Nurses play a key role in recovery through holistic, supportive,
and coordinated care.
3
Objective/aim
• To apply the Nursing Care Process (NCP) in a qualitative
single-case study to deliver individualized, systematic, and
holistic nursing care to a postoperative gynecology
patient, assessing her needs, formulating nursing
diagnoses, planning, implementing, and evaluating
nursing interventions to improve her health outcomes
and prevent complications.
4
Methods (Summary)
• A qualitative single-case study applied the Nursing Care Process
(NCP) to provide individualized, systematic care using five stages.
• The subject was a 41-year-old female post-hysterectomy patient,
selected by convenience in the gynecology unit.
• Data collection included observation, interview, chart review, and
Gordon’s 11 functional patterns.
• Nursing diagnoses were formed using NANDA-I, care planned with
NOC/NIC, and interventions evaluated for effectiveness.
• NCP enabled personalized, holistic care to address physical,
emotional, and spiritual needs, aiming to prevent complications.
5
RESULTS SUMMARY
• Nursing interventions focused on managing acute pain,
anxiety, and sleep pattern disturbances using NIC
activities tailored to each diagnosis.
• Pain level indicators improved from a baseline score of 2
(substantially compromised) to a final score of 4 (slightly
compromised), showing a +2 change.
• Anxiety indicators improved from a baseline score of 3
(moderately compromised) to 4 (slightly compromised),
showing a +1 change after emotional support
interventions.

7
CONT…
• Sleep pattern disturbances improved from a baseline
score of 3 (moderately compromised) to 4 (slightly
compromised), with reduced difficulty falling asleep,
interrupted sleep, and pain (+1 change).
• Comprehensive assessment and prioritization of seven
nursing diagnoses (especially acute pain, anxiety, and
sleep disturbance) allowed effective planning,
implementation, and evaluation of individualized
nursing care.
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
• The study demonstrated that structured nursing
interventions improve patient outcomes in pain,
anxiety, and sleep disorders.
• Comprehensive assessment using multiple data
sources was crucial for accurate diagnosis and care
planning.
• Prioritizing nursing diagnoses guided focused and
effective intervention strategies.
• The integration of emotional support and
environmental adjustments enhanced patient comfort
and recovery.
• Continuous evaluation and reassessment ensured
8
Conclusion
• The nursing care process provides a systematic and logical
approach for delivering effective patient care.
• Comprehensive and precise nursing assessments enable
accurate diagnoses using standardized NANDA-I, NOC, and
NIC languages.
• Nursing care after total abdominal hysterectomy was
complication-free and supported patient recovery.
• The care plan guided nursing interventions to meet specific
patient needs and ensure quality care.
• Structured planning promoted continuity of care and helped
prevent potential complications.

10
Recommendation
• Continue including the patient's regular sleep/wake cycle and
non-pharmacological sleep techniques in care plans to improve
sleep quality.
• Maintain holistic pain management using both pharmacological
and non-pharmacological methods, with ongoing evaluation of
pain levels.
• Provide emotional support consistently through empathetic
communication, reassurance, and anxiety-reducing activities.
• Use structured evaluation tools like NOC and NIC to track patient
progress and adjust nursing interventions accordingly.
• Engage family members in education about care techniques and
provide informational materials to support patient recovery and
reduce complications.
Appraisal (personal reflection)
• The study highlights the importance of a structured nursing care
process using standardized languages for clear diagnosis and
management.
• Detailed nursing interventions addressing physical and emotional
needs show how holistic care improves patient recovery.
• Continuous assessment and evaluation were key to adapting care
and achieving positive patient outcomes.
• Educating the patient and family on techniques like relaxation
emphasizes the role of empowerment in nursing.
• The study reinforces that effective nursing blends clinical expertise
with empathy for comprehensive patient support.
11
Relevance to the practice
• The study demonstrates how using standardized nursing
languages (NANDA-I, NOC, NIC) improves care clarity and
communication.
• It highlights the value of individualized, evidence-based nursing
interventions in managing pain, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
• Emphasizes the importance of continuous patient assessment to
tailor nursing care effectively.
• Shows how teaching relaxation and coping strategies can enhance
patient well-being and recovery.
• Reinforces that structured nursing processes contribute to safer,
more consistent, and quality patient care.
