Abstract:
Objective:To explore the feelings and experiences of female patients with stress urinary incontinence during preoperative self-readiness.Methods:This is a qualitative research. From September to December 2021, a total of 12 female patients with stress urinary incontinence who underwent elective surgery in the Urology Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected by objective sampling, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interview data were sorted and analyzed through Braun's six-step thematic analysis.Results:A total of four themes were extracted including lack of surgical knowledge, high expectation of surgical outcome, heavy psychological burden of surgery, and high demand for external support. The lack of surgical knowledge included three sub-themes, namely, the lack of understanding of informed consent of surgery, the passive acceptance of informed consent information of surgery, and the bias of surgical information recall. The high expectation of surgical outcome included three sub-themes, namely, complete cure of urinary leakage, unrestricted physical and social activities, and getting rid of the negative emotion of "social cancer". The heavy psychological burden of surgery included two sub-themes, namely, concerns about the effects and complications of surgery and the tension of public health events. The high demand for external support included three sub-themes, namely, the need for emotional communication with medical and nursing staff, the need for experience sharing with patients, and the need for emotional support from family members and friends.Conclusions:Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to improving the surgical knowledge of female patients with stress urinary incontinence, respect their autonomy of informed consent, correctly guide patients to establish surgical expectations, and provide them with multi-dimensional emotional support, so as to promote the improvement of patients' preoperative readiness.
