Disorders of the Urinary System

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...

The kidneys, the primary organs involved in this process, filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances, ultimately producing urine.
Glomerular Filtration
The first stage in urine formation is glomerular filtration. Each kidney contains approximately 1 million nephrons, the functional units of filtration, with a...

Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

682
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Urology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (LUTD) significantly impacts quality of life.
  • Primary Health Care (PHC) nurses play a crucial role in managing various health conditions.
  • Understanding the current scope of PHC nurses' involvement in LUTD is essential for improving patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role and current practices of Primary Health Care nurses in Brazil concerning the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction.
  • To identify knowledge gaps and training needs among nurses regarding conservative LUTD management.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional, multi-methodological study combining quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (focus group) data collection.
  • Remote data gathering from 145 nurses in the quantitative phase and 20 nurses in the qualitative phase.
  • Data analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • Over 93% of participating nurses reported experience with patients presenting Urinary Tract Dysfunction.
  • Only 54.4% of these nurses provided guidance on conservative treatments, primarily focusing on pelvic floor muscle training.
  • A significant gap exists between nurses' experience and their provision of comprehensive conservative care for LUTD.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses in Brazilian PHC settings possess legal backing and patient demand for LUTD treatment but lack adequate knowledge for conservative interventions.
  • Nurses expressed strong motivation to manage LUTD conservatively if provided with specific training.
  • Targeted education and training programs are recommended to empower nurses in effectively treating Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction.
