Abstract

This two-group pretest-posttest design quasi-experimental research aimed to evaluate self-care behavior and infection rate of patients with percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN), after receiving teaching guidance and a self-care booklet compared to regular care. Participants were patients receiving PCN at Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital. They were recruited, then assigned to either experimental or control group (16 participants/group). Instruments were composed of a teaching plan on post-PCN self-care, a self-care booklet, a self-care behavior questionnaire, as well as an urinary tract infection (UTI) record form. Outcomes were measured at three months after start of study protocol. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon sign-ranks test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Fisher’s exact test. 

After study completion, participants in the experimental group had higher score on PCN self-care behavior than those in the control group (p<.001), higher mean difference of PCN self-care (p<.01), and 12.5% of UTI infection rate, which was lower than those in the control group (75%) (p<.001).

This study had demonstrated that the teaching guidance and the self-care booklet were effective in improving self-care behavior and reducing UTI rate among patients with PCN.
