\nCASE STUDY: Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.
\nSandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years
\nago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy,
\nlymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin
\n(Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then
\nmoved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of secondline chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships,
\nand became more involved with her two sisters and their families.
\nSandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no
\nlonger work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was
\nnothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her
\nattorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have
\nhospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and
\nsleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days.
\nSandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each
\nother\u2019s company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek
\nHelpance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friend\u2019s visits. After assessment, the VNA
\nnurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential
\nproblem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving
\nand impaired comfort.
\nReflective Questions
\n1. What are some of the stresses on Sandra\u2019s middle-aged sisters and their families?
\n2. What resources are available to manage these stresses and support the sisters while
\ncaring for their dying sister Sandra?
\n3. Describe Sandra\u2019s feelings about dependency and loss of autonomy because she is
\nunable to do her own activities of daily living any longer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
