Conversion of Evidence and Applied Research on Intermittent Catheterization After Radical Hysterectomy

In this study, the investigators summarize the existing best evidence of intermittent catheterization in patients after radical cervical cancer surgery from the perspective of clinical translation of evidence through systematic search, evaluation and evidence integration, construct a nursing protocol of intermittent catheterization for patients after radical cervical cancer surgery based on the best evidence combined with the clinical context, and explore the clinical application effect of the above nursing protocol. It will provide a reference basis for the development of the standardization and management of intermittent catheterization for postoperative patients with cervical cancer in China, as well as the development of guidelines for intermittent catheterization after radical cervical cancer surgery.

Treatment and study plan

intermittent catheterization protocol based on the best evidence

Behavioral

A best evidence-based protocol for intermittent catheterization after radical cervical cancer surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of urinary complications

    Time frame: Within 2 months of discharge

    the occurrence of urologic complications within 2 months after discharge of the patients from the hospital for follow-up, which in this study included urinary tract infections, urethral injuries, bladder stones, hydronephrosis

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intermittent Catheterization Compliance Scale

    Time frame: Pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month post-discharge

    A questionnaire was used to investigate patients' adherence to carrying out intermittent catheterization before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 1 month after discharge from the hospital. Higher scores indicate better adherence.

  2. 12-Item Short Form Survey

    Time frame: Pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month post-discharge

    A questionnaire was used to investigate patients' quality of life before and immediately after the intervention and 1 month after discharge. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

  3. Self-Rating Anxiety Scale

    Time frame: Pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month post-discharge

    A questionnaire was used to investigate patients' anxiety before and immediately after the intervention and 1 month after discharge from the hospital. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

  4. Intermittent Catheterization Confidence Scale

    Time frame: Pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month post-discharge

    A questionnaire was used to investigate patients' self-efficacy before and immediately after the intervention and 1 month after discharge from the hospital. Higher scores indicate greater confidence.

  5. Utilization of health services

    Time frame: Within 2 months of discharge

    Follow-up to record the number of unplanned readmissions, outpatient visits, and emergency room visits within 2 months of discharge and to evaluate the patient's health service utilization
