Educational intervention to prevent postoperative complications and improve functional outcomes in patients with transurethral resection of the prostate
Quasi-experimental study shows nurse-led education reduces postoperative complications in TURP patients, suggesting better recovery strategies.
Key Points
Urinary incontinence rates significantly decreased in the intervention group at four weeks, supporting the effectiveness of educational strategies.
Patients in the experimental group reported lower IPSS scores (9.9±4.6) compared to controls (15.6±5.8), indicating symptom improvement.
Nursing-led educational interventions lead to higher IIEF scores (3.5±1.2) for sexual function, compared to controls (2.6±1.2), suggesting enhanced recovery.
Integrating educational interventions in routine care may further reduce complications and improve recovery among patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
