ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of hospital-community-family home care mobile APP on outcomes of discharged patients with stress urinary incontinence.Methods The hospital-community-family nursing platform for stress urinary incontinence was established.Patients were randomly divided into two groups.Patients in the control group(n=51) were given conventional discharge guidance.Patients in the intervention group(n=54) were given mobile home care intervention based on conventional discharge care.Pelvic floor muscle strength,one hour pad test leakage,the ICI-Q-SF score and self-efficacy were followed up and compared between two groups.Results After 6 months of intervention,symptoms of incontinence in the intervention group were relieved,self-efficacy was higher than the control group,the ICI-Q-SF score was lower than the control group,and the differences were significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The hospital-community-family nursing platform for stress urinary incontinence can improve patients' adherence and pelvic floor muscle strength,decrease level of incontinence,and increase quality of life.
