Abstract:
Objective To utilize a 3D technology in the design of a female bed urinal and to evaluate its clinical efficacy.Methods A total of 102 adult female fracture patients with normal urination function admitted to a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou City from October 2022 to June 2023 were included in the study.They were divided into a control group(n=51)and an experimental group(n=51)according to random number method.Patients in control group used a regular urinal,while patients in the experimental group used the 3D technology-based female bed urinal.The level of physical pain caused by urination,the rate of urine immersion in the sacrococcygeal or gluteal cleft and the rate of bed unit or clothing of contamination were compared between the 2 groups.Results There was no significant difference in the rate of bed unit or clothing contamination between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).However,the experimental group experienced significantly lower pain caused by urination,a lower rate of urine impregnation in the sacrococcygeal or gluteal fissure(P＜0.001),compared to the control group.Conclusion The 3D technology-based female bed urinal has reasonable structure and simple operation,which can significantly reduce the physical pain caused by the change of body position,reduce the incidence of urine immersion events.
