Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a self‑management intervention programme based on symptom management theory for patients with neurogenic bladder (NB).
Methods: One hundred NB patients treated at a rehabilitation centre between May 2023 and May 2025 who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 50 each). The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received the theory‑based self‑management intervention. Outcomes included self‑management capability, quality of life, voiding parameters (bladder capacity, residual urine volume, daily voiding frequency), NB symptoms, anxiety/depression, and neurogenic bowel function.
Results: After 4 weeks, the observation group showed higher self‑management scores and bladder capacity than the control group [57 (49,66) vs. 35 (28,42) points; (376.18 ± 59.65) vs. (224.38 ± 38.13) mL], and lower quality‑of‑life scores, residual urine volume, and daily voiding frequency [(15.10 ± 5.12) vs. (22.02 ± 5.64) points; (103.56 ± 24.25) vs. (155.18 ± 57.43) mL; (9.72 ± 2.33) vs. (17.52 ± 2.87) times; all P < 0.05]. Symptom scores (NBSS, NBDS, SAS, SDS) were also lower in the observation group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The programme enhances self‑management, improves bladder function, alleviates symptoms, and increases quality of life in NB patients.
期刊介绍:
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
