Purpose:
To present a case study with Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) in Cyprus and to determine the nursing care plan, explaining the nursing interventions and showing the importance of nursing care of patients with EB.
Methods:
Literature review on EB and semi-structured interviews commenced through a direct discussion with open-ended questions to the research subject as well as to a close relative describing his feelings, experiences, and concerns about the disease.
Findings:
Thematic analysis approach was used to identify and analyze patterns in the data. Then, data were synthesized using the standardized nursing terminology of NANDA-I and the Nursing Interventions Classification. The accuracy of the diagnoses and the appropriateness of the nursing interventions were supported by the positive health outcomes of the patient.
Conclusions:
Nurses should apply evidence-based practice interventions for EB wound care, pain management, nutrition, psychological and social support to these patients.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Although EB is classified in the category of rare diseases, the presentation of a case study in Cyprus and the nursing care plan contribute further bibliographically to the holistic and at the same time individualized nursing practice.
