ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely affects motor, sensory, reflex, and other functions, impacting 250,000 to 500,000 individuals globally each year. Bladder voiding dysfunction, a prevalent and serious complication of SCI, results in significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. This study examines the impact of nurse-led clean intermittent catheterization combined with synchronous health education for family members on improving compliance in patients with SCI and bladder voiding dysfunction.METHODS:
Eighty-four patients with urinary dysfunction post-SCI treated in our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected. Family members were assigned to a control group (n = 40) or an observation group (n = 44) based on their participation in nurse-led health education. Urinary tract management proficiency, satisfaction, compliance, and complications were observed and statistically analyzed in both groups on the 30th day after self-initiated intermittent catheterization.RESULTS:
By the 30th day, the observation group exhibited significantly higher cognitive scores in urinary tract management than the control group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the observation group showed greater compliance in daily water intake (p = 0.018), proper timing (p = 0.018), and correct bladder function training (p = 0.004). The incidence of urinary tract infections was lower in the observation group (p = 0.018). Patient satisfaction in the observation group also exceeded that of the control group in all measured aspects and total scores (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
Nurse-led synchronous health education for family members during clean intermittent catheterization significantly enhances patient compliance, reduces complications, and improves patient satisfaction.Palabras clave
