What this trial studies
This study aims to enhance the care of patients undergoing intermittent catheterization following radical cervical cancer surgery by summarizing existing evidence and developing a nursing protocol tailored to clinical needs. Investigators will conduct a systematic search and evaluation of the best practices in intermittent catheterization, integrating this evidence into a practical nursing protocol. The study will assess the clinical application of this protocol to establish standardized management for postoperative patients in China.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who have undergone radical cervical cancer surgery and can effectively communicate using a smartphone.
Not a fit: Patients with serious organ diseases, previous significant renal or urinary tract surgeries, or those with urinary tract infections may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved patient outcomes and standardized care for those undergoing intermittent catheterization after cervical cancer surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is based on existing evidence, the specific application of a standardized protocol for intermittent catheterization in this context is relatively novel.
