REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DE ESTUDOS SOBRE AÇÕES EDUCATIVAS PARA PORTADORES DE BEXIGA NEUROGÊNICA INTEGRATIVE REVIEW OF STUDIES OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIONS FOR PATIENTS WITH NEUROGENIC BLADDER DYSFUNCTION REVISIÓN INTEGRADORA DE ESTUDIOS SOBRE ACCIONES EDUCATIVAS PARA PERSONAS CON VEJIGA URINARIA NEUROGÉNICA

The objective was to perform an integrative review of researches on strategies of health education among people with neurogenic bladder dysfunction on clean intermittent catheterization. The literature review was carried out in April 2011, in online data bases, applying these keywords to the period 2001 to 2011: health education, urinary bladder neurogenic and clean intermittent catheterization. Eight studies were found and the results revealed a larger number of qualitative studies, mostly performed by nurses, published predominantly in 2008, relating particularly to free and independent technologies, such as strategies using flipcharts and primers. Satisfaction, trust and acceptance were observed regarding the practice of clean intermittent catheterization. It was concluded that there are gaps in the production of scientific articles on the subject and a lack of publications demonstrating active participation by specialist nurses in applying health education strategies in catheterization of patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
