Effects Of App-Supported Transitional Care On Neurogenic Bladder In Spinal Cord Injury Patients

NCT07641101 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: SKYLW-2024-001
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 88

• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial for patients with neurogenic bladder after incomplete spinal cord injury. Participants are randomly divided into two groups. The control group receives routine transitional nursing and telephone follow-up, while the intervention group gets 4-week app-supported transitional care including health education, bladder recording and online consultation. After intervention, bladder residual urine, urinary tract infection rate, self-care ability and quality of life are compared between two groups.

Conditions

Neurogenic Bladder, Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Keywords

Transitional Care, Mobile Application, Quality of Life, Randomized Controlled Trial, Spinal Cord Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Incidence of urinary tract infection

  Count the occurrence of urinary tract infection within 4-week follow-up and calculate infection incidence of each group.

  Within 4 weeks after subject enrollment

• Post-void residual urine volume

  Bladder residual urine volume is measured by ultrasonic examination at baseline and after 4 weeks of nursing intervention to compare the difference between two groups.

  Baseline and 4 weeks after intervention

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Self-care ability and quality of life score

  Baseline and 4 weeks after intervention

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients receive routine standardized inpatient bladder nursing, only one-time routine telephone follow-up after discharge without APP-based transitional care intervention

Other: routine standardized inpatient bladder nursing

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Same routine inpatient nursing as control group plus 4 weeks of systematic APP-supported transitional care including health education, voiding record management and online nurse consultation.

Behavioral: Mobile Application Based Transitional Care; Other: routine standardized inpatient bladder nursing

Interventions

Control Group; Intervention Group

Mobile Application Based Transitional Care BEHAVIORAL

Four-week continuous transitional nursing service via mobile APP for patients with neurogenic bladder after incomplete spinal cord injury, including disease-related health education, real-time voiding record, regular nursing reminder and online one-on-one nurse consultation, which differs from routine single telephone follow-up in control group.
