Objective To summarize the discharge preparation service process for patients with neurogenic bladder.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the discharge preparedness service process of 18 patients with neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord injury or spinal cord space-occupying lesions from March 2021 to December 2021.The main contents included health education,discharge planning and discharge criteria.Results Three patients regained spontaneous urination after discharge;8 patients underwent clean intermittent catheterization after discharge,and the main caregivers learned to perform clean intermittent catheterization;7 patients underwent clean intermittent catheterization combined with manual urination after discharge.None of the 18 patients had urinary tract infection,vesicoureteral reflux or bladder stones at the 3-month follow-up after discharge.The score of the self-management scale for the 18 patients ranged from 22.2 to 25.4,with an average of (22.6±0.56) points.Conclusion For patients with neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord injury or spinal cord space-occupying lesions,a standardized and improved discharge preparation service process is conducive to preventing complications,promoting bladder function recovery and improving the quality of life of patients.
