Analysis of the compliance of levator anal muscle training for urinary incontinence after prostate surgery

ObjectiveTo analyze the related influencing factors of nursing on the occurrence of urinary incontinence after electroprostatectomy, in order to provide guidance for clinical nursing.

MethodsA total of 111 patients treated with electroprostatectomy were selected.The general data, international prostate symptom score, compliance assessment of levator anal muscle training, assessment of urinary incontinence in all cases were investigated, and the related risk factors of urinary incontinence were analyzed.

ResultsThe incidence rate of urinary incontinence was 32.43% after the removal of catheter.The incidence rate of urinary incontinence after 1 and 3 months of operation were 18.01% and 7.21%, respectively.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the age >70 years old, indwelling catheter time < 3 days or >7 days, poor compliance with levator anal muscle training before or after surgery were the risk factors of urinary incontinence after electroprostatectomy (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).

ConclusionsAdvanced age, too short or too long indwelling time and poor compliance of levator anal muscle training are the main factors of urinary incontinence after electroprostatectomy, the nursing measures should be taken to urge levator anal muscle training.
