Objective To investigate the effect of spontaneous urination training on postoperative urine retention and catheteration duration of cervical cancer patients. Methods Seventy patients were divided into the control group (n=34) and control group(n=36). according to the admission time Both groups received bladder function training. Besides this, the control group also received intermittent clamping of urine catheter while the observation group received spontaneous urination training . The two groups were compared in terms of incidence of urinary retention and catheteration duration. Result The incidence of urinary retention in the observation group was lower than that of the control group, there was significant difference between the this groups (P<0.05). Conclusion For the patients after cervical cancer operation , both bladder function training and urination training can reduce the incidence of urine retention .
