Effect observation of pelvic floor rehabilitation trainingcombined with nursing intervention in treating postpartum pelvic floor muscle dysfunction

  Objective  To explore the clinical effect of pelvic floor rehabilitation training combined with nursing intervention on treating postpartum pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

  Methods  Totally 120 patients with postpartum pelvic floor muscle dysfunction were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with pelvic floor muscle training and routine nursing intervention, while the observation group was treated with pelvic floor rehabilitation training and comprehensive nursing intervention. The improvement of pelvic floor muscle strength, the amount of urine leakage within 1 hour, score of International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and score of Quality of Life Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence (I-QOL) were compared between the two groups.

  Results  The total effective rate of pelvic floor muscle strength improvement in the observation group was 98.33%, which was significantly higher than 86.67% in the control group (P < 0.05). The amount of urine leakage within 1 hour and ICIQ-SF score in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while the ICIQ-SF score was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  The pelvic floor rehabilitation training combined with comprehensive nursing measures is effective in treating pregnant women with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, which can improve pelvic floor muscle function and the quality of life after delivery.
