The study was conducted to investigate the effects of training provided by researcher and the use of cranberry capsule in preventing late term UTIs after urostomy.
The study included 60 patients who underwent ileal conduit diversion between June 2013 and November 2014. The participants were randomly divided into three groups. First group used cranberry capsule, second group received training about UTIs and the other control group. The patients were assessed for a UTI by laboratory analysis at 2, 3, and 4 months after discharge.
When the effect of cranberry capsule use and training on the prevention of urinary tract infections were compared, we found that there was a significant difference between the group that used and didn't use cranberry capsules, favoring the cranberry capsule (log-rank test; p < 0.05).
We found that the use of cranberry capsules is effective in the prevention of urinary tract infections.
本研究旨在探讨研究者提供的培训以及使用蔓越莓胶囊对预防尿路造口术后晚期尿路感染的效果。
本研究纳入了 2013 年 6 月至 2014 年 11 月期间接受回肠导管造口术的 60 例患者。将参与者随机分为三组。第一组使用蔓越莓胶囊，第二组接受尿路感染培训，第三组为对照组。患者在出院后 2、3、4 个月时通过实验室分析评估尿路感染情况。
当比较蔓越莓胶囊使用和培训对预防尿路感染的效果时，我们发现使用和未使用蔓越莓胶囊的两组之间存在显著差异，蔓越莓胶囊组更具优势（对数秩检验；p<0.05）。
我们发现使用蔓越莓胶囊可有效预防尿路感染。
