To explore the effects of a cognitive-behavioral program addressing urinary incontinence on the quality of life of men who have undergone radical prostatectomy.
Randomized controlled clinical trial with patients undergoing radical prostatectomy in an institution for cancer treatment in Brazil. The 34 participants were randomized into two groups: 17 in the control group who received the institution's standard care and 17 in the intervention group who received the cognitive-behavioral program. Quality of life was assessed using the King's Health Questionnaire and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form.
Participants from intervention group showed better results regarding the reduction of the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life (p ≤ 0.001), with emphasis on limitations in daily activities, general health perception, physical and social limitations, emotions, and sleep and mood.
The cognitive-behavioral program was effective in reducing the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life. This study contributes to clinical practice by providing an effective, low-cost, and easily applicable therapy. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials: RBR-3sstqg.
探讨针对男性根治性前列腺切除术患者尿失禁的认知行为方案对其生活质量的影响。
这是一项在巴西一家癌症治疗机构进行的随机对照临床试验，共纳入 34 名接受根治性前列腺切除术的患者。将这 34 名患者随机分为两组：对照组 17 名，接受机构标准护理；干预组 17 名，接受认知行为方案。采用 King's 健康问卷和国际尿失禁咨询问卷-短表评估生活质量。
干预组患者在减轻尿失禁对生活质量的影响方面表现出更好的结果（p≤0.001），特别是在日常生活活动受限、总体健康感知、身体和社会活动受限、情绪、睡眠和情绪方面。
认知行为方案可有效减轻尿失禁对生活质量的影响。本研究通过提供一种有效、低成本且易于应用的疗法，为临床实践做出了贡献。巴西临床试验注册处：RBR-3sstqg。
