Effect of continuous care intervention on the quality of life in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction

This study investigates how continuous care intervention affects the quality of life for individuals with neurogenic bladder dysfunction resulting from spinal cord injuries. The intervention included clean intermittent self-catheterization, guidance on drinking habits, and bladder training, with regular follow-ups to monitor progress and complications. The study found that such continuous care significantly improved patients' quality of life and reduced complications related to their condition.
