Application and clinical efficacy of comprehensive nursing intervention in pelvic floor and bladder function recovery post-cervical cancer surgery.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of comprehensive nursing intervention in pelvic floor and bladder function recovery post-cervical cancer surgery.

Method: This was a retrospective study. A total of 120 patients with cervical cancer undergoing radical surgery at Tangshan People's Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were randomly divided into two groups (n=60 cases each group). The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the study group was provided with comprehensive nursing intervention. Comparative analysis was conducted on clinical indicators, postoperative complications, bladder and pelvic floor function recovery, and patient satisfaction before and after intervention in both groups.

Result: In the study group, ambulation time, gastrointestinal function recovery, duration of postoperative drainage tube placement, oral diet resumption time, duration of postoperative vaginal bleeding, and length of hospital stay were significantly shorter than in the control group (all p< 0.05). Bladder function recovery in the study group was superior to that in the control group (p< 0.05). The study group showed lower scores for anorectal disorders, urogenital disorders, and pelvic organ prolapse than the control group (p< 0.05, respectively). Patient satisfaction was 100% in the study group and 85% in the control group, suggesting a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p< 0.05).

Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing intervention deserve to be promoted as it can accelerate postoperative clinical recovery, reduce the incidence of surgical complications, improve pelvic floor and bladder function post-cervical cancer surgery, and enhance patient satisfaction with care.
