Objective To explore the clinical rehabilitation nursing effect of intermittent catheterization on neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury. Methods 80 patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into a control group (40 cases) and an observation group (40 cases) using odd even grouping method. The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group received intermittent catheterization nursing intervention. The bladder volume, residual urine volume, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared, and the statistical method mainly used was T-test. Results Before nursing intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in bladder capacity and residual urine volume between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). After nursing intervention, the bladder capacity of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, while residual urine volume was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction score of the observation group (90.75 ± 5.73) was higher than that of the control group (81.14 ± 5.75) (P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion For patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury, conventional nursing is not effective, while intermittent catheterization nursing intervention has advantages and is a high-quality clinical pathway that can improve bladder function, turn clinical symptoms negative, improve patient quality of life and nursing quality, and accelerate patient recovery process.
