Methods From January 2016 to January 2017,the general data questionnaire,the Self-Perceived Burden Scale(SPBS),the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale(ESCA)was used to investigate 388 cases of permanent bladder fistula in 2 hospitals in Lanzhou, Baiyin and Dingxi city, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results The total score of SPBS was (36.01 ± 1.34) points,which was in the middle level.The total score of ESCA was(51.05±10.23)points,which was in low level.The total score of SPBS was negatively correlated with the total score of ESCA and each dimension (r =-0.496--0.168, P<0.01 or 0.05). Stratified regression analysis showed that self-care skills, self-responsibility, self-concept and health knowledge level in self-care ability were important influencing factors (P<0.05).
