Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of traditional Chinese medical acupoint massage on the prevention of urinary reten-tion after lumbar surgery. Methods 240 patients who had undergone lumbar selective operation were divided into the control group ( n=120) and the observation group (n=120) through random sampling. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing inter-vention, while those in the observation group were given traditional Chinese medical acupoint massage in addition to the routine nursing intervention. Indwelling catheter time, incidence of catheter replacement, urinary retention rate, urinary system infection rate of the two groups and their degree of satisfaction with the nursing service were observed. Results The indwelling catheter time, incidence of cath-eter replacement, incidence of UR and urinary system infection rate of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0. 05), the observation group patients’ degree of satisfaction with their treatment was significantly higher than that of the control group (94. 17% VS 75%, χ2=16. 903, P =0. 000). Conclusion For the patients undergoing lumbar surger-y, nursing intervention combined with traditional Chinese medical acupoint massage can effectively prevent the occurrence of UR and uri-nary system infection, and can improve patients’ degree of satisfaction. This method is worthy of clinical application.
