Construction and application of cluster nursing measures for urinary retention after gynecological tumor radical operation

Objective To develop cluster nursing measures for urinary retention after gynecological tumor radical operation, and explore the prevention methods of urinary retention after gynecological tumor radical operation. Methods We established a gynecological rehabilitation nursing team, retrieved domestic and foreign literature, conducted a Meta-analysis on the key measures to effectively treat urinary retention, and designed and developed a set of cluster nursing measures for urinary retention after radical gynecological tumor surgery. A controlled trail was conducted in this study. Totally 54 patients treated in the gynecological ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University from January 2016 to June 2017 were selected as the control group, while another 52 patients treated from July 2017 to August 2018 were selected as the experimental group. Patients in the control group received routine gynecological nursing, while patients in the experimental group received cluster nursing based on routine nursing. Data were collected using an observation record form, which included observations of patients' practice and limb mobility effects. The execution time and frequency of urinary interruption training, pelvic floor muscle function training, ankle pump exercise and thoraco-abdominal gymnastics, and the reasons for not using them, drinking test at extubation and intermittent clean self catheterization (CISC) . Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Results One out of the 52 patients in the experimental group had urinary retention, accounting for an incidence rate of 1.92%, delayed extubation occurred in 2 cases, with a total complication rate of 5.77% (3/52) ; while 5 out of the 54 patients in the control group had urinary retention, accounting for an incidence rate of 9.26%, delayed extubation occurred in 6 cases, with a total complication rate of 20.37% (11/54) . There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P<0.05) . Conclusions The cluster nursing measures are a combination of multiple effective measures, and the clinical application results have shown that they can effective prevent the occurrence of urinary retention after gynecological tumor radical surgery.
