Abstract

Female pelvic floor dysfunctions are the most common diseases after pregnancy. Vaginal relaxation, stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), decreased sexual activity, and mental depression and other clinical symptoms, are the most normal results of childbirth which leading to cause various problems for the mother. We aim to explore the clinical situation and effect of postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation nursing for patients with postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction. In this study, 100 patients with postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction randomly selected from January 2018 to December 2019. They were randomly divided into two groups for nursing care, including control group and observation group. The control group received routine care, and the observation group received postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation care. We carry out comparison of the clinical nursing effects of the two groups. After analysis and statistics, the total clinical effectiveness (94.0%) and nursing satisfaction (92.0%) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (80.0%, 72.0%), and the differences between the groups were significant (P<0.05). In conclusion, implementing pelvic floor rehabilitation nursing for patients with postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction can better promote the rehabilitation of patients' pelvic floor function, improve clinical effects and nursing satisfaction.
