Background: To investigate the clinical effect of better nursing education on patients' postoperative urination after renal biopsy.
Methods: In this study, patients who underwent renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology at our hospital were selected as the observation group (July-December 2018, n = 120) and control group (January-June 2018, n = 110) and received refined nursing education and routine nursing education, respectively. Postoperatively, the causes of dysuria after puncture, the degree of postoperative pain, and the urination mode were compared between the two groups.
Results: Six patients in the observation group and 23 patients in the control group needed urethral catheterization, accounting for about 5% and 15.2%, respectively. Therefore, the postoperative catheterization rate in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group, with a statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: The refined nursing education proposed in this study can effectively improve urinary dysfunction after renal biopsy and has a clinical promotional value.
