Abstract：Objective:To explore the improvement effect of rehabilitation nursing based on information-knowledge-belief-behav-ior(IKAP)theory on urinary incontinence patients after radical prostatectomy.Methods:Sixty-six patients with urinary inconti-nence who received robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected and divided into control group(n=33)and observation group(n=33)according to random num-ber table method.The patients in the control group were treated with rehabilitation nursing.The patients in the observation group were treated with rehabilitation nursing guided by IKAP theory.The recovery of urinary incontinence,duration of urinary incontinence,sub-jective well-being,quality of life,psychological and emotional indexes of patients in the two groups were compared.Results:The to-tal effective rate of urinary incontinence recovery in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(90.91％vs 60.61％,P＜0.05).The duration of urinary incontinence in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group([3.36±1.54]d vs[4.15±1.36]d,P＜0.05).And the subjective well-being score in observation group was sig-nificantly higher than that in the control group([19.36±2.69]points vs[11.65±2.65]points,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in preoperative physical function,social function,and mental health scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).And all scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after surgery(P＜0.05).There was no signifi-cant difference in the preoperative SAS and SDS scores between the two groups of patients(P＞0.05).And the scores of SAS and SDS in observation group were lower than those of the control group after the operation(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Rehabilitation nursing based on IKAP theory can significantly improve urinary incontinence in patients with prostate cancer after surgery,which promotes the recovery of urinary incontinence,shortens the time of urinary incontinence,and improves the subjective well-being and quality of life,as well as reduces the negative impact of negative emotions.Therefore,it can be widely promoted and implemented in clinical practice.
