ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical pathway in the health education for prevention of postpartum urinary retention and effect evaluation. Methods 150 cases who completed delivery in our hospital were set as the observation group, they received health education of clinical pathways. 150 pregnant women who completed delivery in our hospital in the past were named as the control group, they were given traditional health education. The incidence rate of urinary retention was compared between the two groups. Results 7 cases, accounting for 4.67% of urinary retention occurred in the observation group, 24 patients, accounted for 16.00% of urinary retention occurred in the control group, the incidence of urinary retention in the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group. Conclusions Application of clinical pathway in the health education for prevention of postpartum urinary retention has good clinical value, can largely reduce the incidence of urinary retention.
