Summary
A new nursing model for radical prostatectomy patients significantly reduced pain, urinary incontinence, and negative emotions. This approach improved quality of life and lowered complication rates, aiding in postoperative recovery.
Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Symptom Management Theory
- Postoperative Care
Background:
- Radical prostatectomy is crucial for localized prostate cancer but often leads to urinary incontinence and chronic pain.
- Effective perioperative care is essential for improving patient prognosis and outcomes.
- This study investigated a novel symptom management theory-based nursing model for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a symptom management theory-based nursing model in improving outcomes for radical prostatectomy patients.
- To assess the impact of the nursing model on pain, urinary incontinence, negative emotions, and quality of life.
- To compare postoperative complication rates between patients receiving the new nursing model and those receiving routine care.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study involving 165 radical prostatectomy patients, divided into control (routine care) and observation (symptom management nursing) groups.
- Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to create comparable groups of 67 patients each for analysis.
- Key outcomes including pain (VAS), urinary incontinence (ICIQ-UISF), negative emotions (SAS/SDS), and quality of life (FACT-P) were assessed at multiple time points.
Main Results:
- The observation group demonstrated significantly lower pain (VAS) and urinary incontinence (ICIQ-UISF) scores at 2 weeks and 1 month post-treatment.
- Patients in the observation group reported reduced anxiety (SAS) and depression (SDS) and higher quality of life (FACT-P) scores.
- The 3-month postoperative complication rate was significantly lower in the observation group (7.46%) compared to the control group (19.40%).
Conclusions:
- Symptom management-based nursing is effective in alleviating pain and reducing urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.
- This nursing model positively impacts patients' emotional well-being and enhances their quality of life.
- The findings suggest significant clinical value of this nursing approach for improving postoperative rehabilitation and reducing complications.

01:17Urinary Tract Infection IV: Nursing Management
422
In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...
