Introduction : Urinary incontinence is one of the complications of spinal cord injury that affects various aspects of a person's life and has several negative consequences. This study investigated the effect of clean self-catheterization on anxiety and quality of life of spinal cord injury patients.
Methods: This study was a semi-experimental before-after intervention with the control group that studied 80 patients in Rafideh Rehabilitation Hospital in Tehran in 1399. The samples were selected as available and were assigned to two intervention groups (odd numbers) and control group (even numbers) using a regular method. Beck Anxiety Questionnaire and 23-item quality of life questionnaire of spinal cord injury patients were used to collect data, which were distributed to the people in printed versions in person. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon and covariance and SPSS software version 26 and Medcalc version 8. In order to conduct this research, the code of ethics IR.USWR.REC.1399.158 was obtained from the Research Vice-Chancellor of Tehran University of Rehabilitation Sciences and Social Health.
Results: The findings showed that before the intervention, the two groups were homogeneous in terms of quality of life and anxiety, and the research intervention (intermittent clean survey) led to a significant increase in quality of life and a significant decrease in anxiety.
Conclusion: Intermittent self-probing by the patient can be used as a method to increase the quality of life of patients and reduce their anxiety.
