To understand Primary Health Care nurses' role in treating Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction.
Cross-sectional multi-methodological research, composed of quantitative and qualitative steps, independently and sequentially. Data collected remotely, through a questionnaire and focus group, analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke, respectively. The project was approved under Opinion 22691119.0.0000.0030.
A total of 145 nurses participated in the study in the quantitative step and 20 in the qualitative step, working in Primary Health Care in Brazil. Of the 93.1% nurses who reported having already cared for people with Urinary Tract Dysfunction, only 54.4% provided guidance, mainly for training the pelvic floor muscles.
Even though they have legal support and access to demand, nurses do not have the knowledge to offer conservative treatment for Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction. Despite this, they were motivated to do so as long as they received specific training.
了解初级保健护士在治疗下尿路功能障碍中的作用。
横断面多方法研究，包括定量和定性步骤，独立且顺序进行。数据通过问卷和焦点小组远程收集，分别使用描述性统计和 Braun 和 Clarke 的主题分析进行分析。该项目经意见 22691119.0.0000.0030 批准。
在定量步骤中共有 145 名护士和在定性步骤中共有 20 名护士参与了本研究，他们均在巴西的初级保健机构工作。在报告已经照顾过患有下尿路功能障碍的患者的 93.1%的护士中，只有 54.4%的护士提供了指导，主要是针对骨盆底肌肉的训练。
尽管护士有法律支持和需求渠道，但他们缺乏提供下尿路功能障碍保守治疗的知识。尽管如此，只要他们接受了特定的培训，他们就有动力这样做。
