Brief Summary

Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence, which is common after surgery, can affect the quality of life of men negatively. There are various attempts to prevent and treat urinary symptoms after radical prostatectomy.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the structured bladder training program on lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Urinary incontinence-related quality of life assessed by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF)

    The primary endpoint of this study was the difference between groups in terms of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) scores 3 months after. This scale consists of 6 questions.The range of scores obtained from the scale varies between 0-21 points. High scores on the scale indicate that the quality of urinary incontinence is severely affected.

    3 months after from baseline (0 month)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Lower urinary tract symptoms assessed by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-MLUTS)

    3 months after from baseline (0 month)

Study Arms (2)

Bladder Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the structured bladder training group were trained on "lifestyle changes (nutrition, fluid management, exercise), pelvic floor muscle exercises and bladder control techniques".

Behavioral: Bladder Training

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Routine patient training was given to the patients in the control group by a nurse working in the clinic.

Interventions

Patients in the structured bladder training group were trained on "lifestyle changes (nutrition, fluid management, exercise), pelvic floor muscle exercises and bladder control techniques".

Bladder Training
