ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the knowledgement and clinical application of neurogenic bladder and intermittent catheterization among nurses in Guangdong. Methods:From December, 2020 to January, 2021, 241 nurses in Guangdong were investigated with a questionnaire designed by ourselves. Results:The score was low in understanding the neurogenic bladder rehabilitation nursing management and intermittent catheterization through self-assessment. The awareness was deficient in the complication and risk management of neurogenic bladder. Although there were a lot of patients with dysuria in clinical practice, 67.2% of nurses still used indwelling catheter, and only 24.1% used intermittent catheterization. Only 9.9% nurses thought that patients with dysuria were treated positively by doctors. Most of nurses would like to participate in the training and nursing alliance in neurogenic bladder rehabilitation nursing management and intermittent catheterization, and manage patients with neurogenic bladder after discharge. Conclusion:The knowledge of guidelines related with neurogenic bladder and intermittent catheterization among nurses is insufficient, and is not applied in clinical practice. More work should be done to improve the knowledge and standardization of management of neurogenic bladder.
