Effect of Comprehensive Nursing Intervention in Patients with Urinary Incontinence After Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract

Objective: To explore and analyze the clinical effect of comprehensive nursing intervention in patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Methods: 84 patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy admitted to the Urology Department between May 2021 and May 2023 were included in this study. The patients were divided into a comprehensive group and a control group, with 42 cases in each group through a double-blind mechanism. The comprehensive group received comprehensive nursing care, and the control group received primary nursing care. The duration of indwelling urinary catheters and urinary incontinence; psychological performance and living conditions were compared between the two groups. Results: The duration of the indwelling urinary catheter and urinary incontinence of the patients in the comprehensive group were significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference in the anxiety, depression, and other psychological manifestations between the two groups (P > 0.05); after nursing, the comprehensive group’s anxiety, depression, and other psychological manifestations of the comprehensive group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference in the physical function, mental state, emotional state, and physical recovery of the patients between both groups (P > 0.05); after nursing, the physical function, mental state, emotional state, physical recovery of the patients in the comprehensive group were significantly better than those of the control group. Besides, the living conditions of the patients in the comprehensive group were also significantly better than the control group’s (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing intervention can effectively improve symptoms of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy, reduce inner pressure, and improve living standards.
