Purpose: To explore the life experiences of patients who have been discharged after undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Design: A qualitative descriptive approach was used. Methods: Patients who have undergone ECMO support and have been discharged were recruited. Thirteen participants were involved in this study. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and analyzed using the Colaizzi method. Findings: Four major themes in life experiences were reported by the participants: changes in physical function, changes in psychological state, active adaptation to daily life, and substantial rehabilitation needs. Conclusion: Different, continuous, and convenient post-discharge physical and mental interventions, social support, spiritual support, and rehabilitation services should be provided according to the patient's circumstances. We also call on the government to increase the patient reimbursement rate for ECMO treatment. These measures may help to improve the quality of life of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
