Abstract

To study the effects of nurse-led cognitive behavioural therapy on anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Patients with urinary incontinence after undergoing radical prostatectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2023 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the observation and control groups in accordance with whether they received nurse-led cognitive behavioural therapy. The general data of the patients were collected, and the baseline data of the two groups were balanced by propensity score matching. The disease-related knowledge; Urinary catheter indwelling time; Urinary incontinence duration; And scores on the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Nursing Effect and Health Questionnaire (SF-36) were compared between the two groups after matching. At discharge, the ESCA, SF-36 and disease cognition scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05). The HAMA and HAMD scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (p < 0.001), and the total effective rate of the observation group (89.83%) was higher than that of the control group (76.27%) (p < 0.05). In patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy, the implementation of nurse-led cognitive behavioural therapy can effectively improve self-care and disease cognition abilities, relieve anxiety and depression and improve quality of life.
