Abstract

Uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells is the underlying cause of cancer in patients. This community service aimed to enhance cancer patients' knowledge and understanding of pain management using an autogenic relaxation technique incorporating specific movements and guided suggestions. The method involved demonstrations and health education sessions. This activity was attended by 30 cancer patients aged >18 years undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The study results indicated a 37.3% improvement in the participants' knowledge and understanding of the provided pain management education, increasing from 50% to 87.3%. The application of autogenic relaxation techniques effectively reduced pain intensity, and patients demonstrated increased independence in performing these techniques. Consequently, the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing treatment can be optimized.

Abstract

Urological surgery is a medical procedure in treating disorders of the urinary tract, reproductive organs, and other urogenital systems that have the most common risk of complications in the form of urinary incontinence. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises are in reducing the occurrence of urinary incontinence among patients who have undergone urological surgery. Four databases, including Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest and Sciencedirect, were reviewed for relevant articles published from 2020 to 2025. The literature search was conducted using keywords such as "Pelvic-Floor-Exercises AND Urinary-Incontinence AND Post-Urology-Surgery". Guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute were used to assess the quality of journals reviewed. Articles were analyzed by extracting data in the form of country, type of study, sample, age, gender, intervention (type and duration), instrument, and outcome. Seven randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) involving 422 articles were included. All studies reported a significant decrease in urinary incontinence after Kegel exercises (p 0.05). Research indicates that engaging in pelvic floor exercises can enhance the strength of pelvic floor muscles, leading to better bladder control and a decrease in the occurrence of urinary incontinence. Pelvic Floor Exercises can be part of a urological post-operative recovery program that supports the patient's overall recovery and quality of life. Nurses can teach and motivate patients to perform pelvic floor exercises according to the patient's progress and condition. The results lay a strong groundwork for application in clinical settings, and further studies are necessary to establish a standardized protocol and investigate its long-term effects.
