Effects of a self-efficacy-centered self-management program on neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury: A randomized controlled trial

This study examined if a special self-care program could help people with bladder problems after spinal cord injury. The program focused on boosting their confidence in managing their own health. The study found that people who participated in the program showed improvements in their ability to manage their bladder, had fewer infections, and reported a better quality of life. This suggests that focusing on self-confidence and self-care can be a helpful approach for individuals dealing with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury.

• 1
  The intervention group demonstrated significantly better outcomes than the control group at 12 weeks post-intervention in self-management ability.
• 2
  Significant differences between the groups were observed in the incidence of UTI, residual urine volume and bladder safety capacity at the end of the intervention.
• 3
  The intervention group also showed significantly better outcomes than the control group in VT and MH subscales.
