Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the effect of Kegel pelvic floor muscle training combined with clean intermittent self-catheterization on patients with cervical cancer, and to analyze the risk factors affecting urinary retention.

Methods: A total of 166 patients with cervical cancer admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to December 2019, all of whom received radical resection of cervical cancer, were divided into two groups according to the random number table method: the observation group and the control group, with 83 cases in each group. The control group underwent clean intermittent self-catheterization, while the observation group underwent Kegel pelvic floor muscle exercise combined with clean intermittent self-catheterization. The catheter replacement rate, bladder residual urine volume, self-perceived burden scale (SPB), Kolcaba general comfort questionnaire (GCQ), incidence of urinary tract infection, and urinary retention after catheter removal were compared between the two groups. Logistics regression analysis was utilized to analyze the risk factors affecting urinary retention.

Results: The incidence of catheter replacement, urinary retention, dysuria and bladder residual urine volume in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Postoperative SPB score of the two groups decreased significantly, while the GCQ score increased significantly. Postoperative SPB score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, while the GCQ score was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Statistically significant differences can be observed in the comparison of catheter indwelling time, urinary tract infection, surgical incision infection and surgical margin between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that catheter indwelling time, urinary tract infection, surgical incision infection and surgical margin were independent risk factors affecting urinary retention (P<0.05).

Conclusions: Catheter indwelling time, urinary tract infection, surgical incision infection and surgical margin are the risk factors for postoperative urinary retention in patients with cervical cancer. With Kegel pelvic floor muscle exercise combined with clean intermittent self-catheterization, a variety of benefits can be realized, such as improved bladder function, reduced incidence of urinary tract infections and urinary retention, as well as increased patient comfort.
