Clinical Application Effect of Postoperative Nursing Intervention on Patients Undergoing Transurethral Prostatectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Background: To study the clinical effect of postoperative nursing on patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Methods: The relevant researches about nursing intervention effect evaluation after TURP during January 2000 to May 2024 were selected from databases. These were sorted into an intervention group (Int group) and a control group (Ctrl group) with different nursing methods. Theemotional status, length of hospital stays (LOHS), nursing satisfaction, the incidence, volume, and frequency of urinary incontinence (UI), and the incidences of urinary hemorrhage (UH), bladder spasm (BS), and catheter occlusion (CO) were compared after intervention.
Results: Eleven articles and 1,020 cases were included. The LOHS in the Int group was much shorter (mean difference (MD)=-2.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): -4.47~-1.35, Z=3.66, P=0.0002). The nursing satisfaction was significantly improved (odds ratio (OR)=5.70, 95% CI: 3.65-8.90, Z=7.64, P<0.00001). For complications, incidence of UI (OR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.26-0.66, Z=3.72, P=0.0002), the volume of UI (MD=-66.17, 95% CI: -124.74~-11.60, Z=2.36, P=0.02), and the frequency of UI (MD=-1.18, 95% CI: -1.69~-0.67, Z=4.55, P<0.00001) greatly reduced. The incidences of UH (OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.21-0.87, Z=2.35, P=0.02), BS (OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.14-0.42, Z=4.97, P<0.00001), and CO (OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.11-0.36, Z=5.21, P<0.00001) were also highly reduced.
Conclusion: Postoperative nursing intervention could effectively shorten LOHS after TURP in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), improving the nursing satisfaction and reducing the incidence of postoperative complications.
