Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of continuing care on the intermittent catheterization compliance of patients with neurogenic bladder. Methods From January to December, 2015, 60 patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury receiving intermittent cathe-terization were randomly assigned to control group (n=30) and intervention group (n=30). The control group received routine discharge in-struction, while the intervention group received continuing care in addition. The intermittent catheterization compliance, residual urine vol-ume, urinary tract infection and quality of life were assessed at discharge and three months after intervention. Results After intervention, the intermittent catheterization compliance was better in the intervention group than in the control group (χ2=7.500, P=0.006). The residual urine volume significantly decreased in both groups (t>12.040, P<0.001), and was less in the intervention group than in the control group (t=-2.190, P=0.032), as well as the urinary tract infection rate (χ2=10.800, P=0.001). The score of quality of life increased significantly after intervention in both groups (t>4.572, P<0.001), and was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (t>5.505, P<0.001). Con-clusion Continuing care could improve the intermittent catheterization compliance, reduce the residual urine volume and the urinary tract in-fection rate, and improve the quality of life in patients with neurogenic bladder after discharge.
