ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To identify the benefits of clean intermittent self-catheterization in women who have late bladder dysfunction caused by radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer. METHODS: Thirty women who underwent radical hysterectomy with late bladder dysfunction were recruited. A nursing intervention program focusing on clean intermittent self-catheterization and a drinking plan was implemented. We recorded urinary times during the day and night, post-voiding residual urine volume, positive catheter specimen of urine rate, and quality of life instruments for patients with cervical cancer . RESULTS: All patients were able to satisfactorily manage clean intermittent self-catheterization following video-based operational training. Bladder function was significantly increased after 3-month intervention compared with before the intervention. Urinary times during the day and night, and post-voiding residual urine volume were greatly decreased post-intervention compared with pre-intervention. The rate of a positive catheter specimen of urine test significantly decreased over time. There was significant improvement in quality of life in five dimensions between weeks 1 and 12 following the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Patients are able to learn the technique of clean intermittent self-catheterization without any difficulty. This technique is effective together with a drinking plan to decrease late bladder dysfunction caused by radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer.
