简要总结
This study aims to investigate the effects of urotherapy education provided to families of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy on parents' knowledge, lifestyle changes, and satisfaction with the education. Families will receive an online urotherapy education session covering lower urinary tract function, bladder and bowel habits, appropriate toileting behaviors, lifestyle recommendations, and related management strategies. Parents' knowledge and awareness will be assessed before the education, immediately after the education, and two weeks later. Satisfaction with the education will also be evaluated after the session.
详细描述
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder that may also be accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms. Urotherapy is a conservative, non-pharmacological approach that includes education on bladder and bowel function, appropriate voiding and defecation habits, lifestyle modifications, and strategies for managing lower urinary tract symptoms.
This prospective interventional study will evaluate the effects of an online urotherapy education program provided to families of children with DMD. The education will be delivered remotely in a single session of approximately three hours. Participants will be assessed before the education, immediately after the education, and two weeks later and 2 months after. The study will examine changes in parents' knowledge and awareness of urotherapy-related behaviors and lifestyle practices, as well as their satisfaction with the education provided.
