Quality Improvement

Background:

Postoperative urinary retention is a risk after pelvic surgery.
Inconsistent adherence to voiding trial protocols by nurses can lead to adverse outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of QR code-linked instructional videos on nursing adherence to voiding trial protocols.

Main Methods:

A pre-post quality improvement study was conducted in two hospitals.
QR codes linked to video tutorials were disseminated to nursing staff.
Adherence was measured by electronic medical record documentation.

Main Results:

Overall adherence to voiding trial protocols increased from 44.3% to 76.4%.
Significant improvements were noted for passive and active voiding trials.
Enhanced adherence was observed in both postanesthesia care and inpatient settings.

Conclusions:

QR code-linked videos effectively improved nursing adherence to voiding trial protocols.
This low-cost intervention can enhance postoperative care quality.
It provides a practical model for improving protocol adherence in pelvic surgery nursing.
