The Effect of Intensive Education On Urinary Incontinence Following Radical Prostatectomy: A Randomized Control Trial

Urol Nurs. 2014 Sep-Oct;34(5):246-51.

Abstract

Intense bladder control education failed to improve bladder control among patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy as treatment of their prostate cancer. Despite this educational intervention, participants continued to experience post-operative bladder control problems. Nurses need to develop and implement novel interventions that might enhance bladder control.
