UNASSIGNED: A 51-year-old woman with a BMI of 31.7 kg/m2 and secondary lower extremity lymphoedema following cervical cancer surgery did not adhere to self-care instructions regarding wearing elastic stockings for 5 years. The oedema worsened, her limb circumference increased and she had two episodes of cellulitis within a year. Because the patient had a negative attitude towards elastic stockings, real-time image-sharing education was used to promote recognition of illness using ICG and an understanding of the condition of lymphoedema using ultrasonography. After the images were shared and explained, the patient discussed her recognition and understanding of lymphoedema, then decided to use compression stockings. She continued to wear them for 4 months, and her limb circumference decreased.
UNASSIGNED: Real-time image-sharing education using ICG and ultrasonography as self-care support for a lymphoedema patient who would not start compression therapy could result in behavioural changes and the patient starting and continuing to wear elastic stockings.
■一名51岁女性,BMI为31.7kg/m2,在宫颈癌手术后继发下肢淋巴水肿,5年来没有遵守有关穿弹力袜的自我保健指示。水肿加重,她的肢体周长增加,一年内发生了两次蜂窝织炎。因为病人对弹力袜持消极态度,使用实时图像共享教育来促进使用ICG对疾病的识别以及使用超声检查对淋巴水肿状况的了解。在分享和解释图像后,病人讨论了她对淋巴水肿的认识和理解,然后决定使用压缩长袜。她继续穿了4个月,她的四肢周长减少了。
使用ICG和超声检查的实时图像共享教育作为无法开始压迫治疗的淋巴水肿患者的自我护理支持,可能会导致行为改变,患者开始并继续穿弹力袜。
