Objective To explore the effect and significance of continuous nursing in patients with clean intermittent catheterization. Methods From July to December 2013, 47 patients with spinal cord injury still relying on clean intermittent catheterization were selected as the control group, whom were given the routine care and guidance. From January to June 2014, 51 patients with spinal cord injury still relying on clean intermittent catheterization were selected as the study group; in addition to routine nursing instruction before leaving hospital, they were also guided with the continuous nursing. In the way of telephone follow-up, we analyzed the results via the questionnaire of the effect of continuous nursing for spinal cord injured patients with clean intermittent catheterization. Results The incidence of catheter related complications such as urinary tract infections in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The caregivers' ability for patients in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion The continuous follow-up nursing instruction can improve the nursing ability of caregivers, and effectively reduce the occurrence of catheter related complications.
