Objective To explore the clinical value of high-quality nursing intervention in preventing postpartum urinary retention and promoting the recovery of urinary function. Methods Sixty-six women who delivered naturally were randomly divided into a control group (33 cases, conventional care) and an observation group (33 cases, high-quality nursing intervention). The time of first urination, urine volume, residual urine volume, urination smoothness score, and the incidence of urinary retention were compared between the two groups. T-test and χ² test were used for analysis. Results The time of first urination in the observation group was significantly shortened (3.8 ± 0.9 h vs. 5.2 ± 1.1 h, P < 0.001), the volume of first urination increased (278.6 ± 36.4 mL vs. 215.4 ± 41.2 mL, P < 0.001), the residual urine volume decreased (42.7 ± 18.9 mL vs. 95.3 ± 21.6 mL, P < 0.001), the urination smoothness score improved (8.2 ± 1.0 vs. 5.3 ± 1.2, P < 0.001), and the incidence of urinary retention decreased significantly (6.10% vs. 30.30%, P = 0.01). Conclusion High-quality nursing intervention can significantly promote the recovery of urinary function in postpartum women and reduce the incidence of urinary retention, demonstrating high clinical application value.
