Objective To explore the effect of self-made urine volume record sheet and health education on urine volume monitoring in general ward. Methods A total of 110 hospitalized patients between February and July 2015 were selected to be our study subjects. The patients were divided into control group (n=42) and trial group (n=68) according to the time period. The control group used conventional urine volume record and accepted common health education, while the trial group received a self-made urine volume 24-hour record sheet with health knowledge and accepted special health education about urine volume by nurses. Then, we investigated the two groups with a questionnaire about urine volume, and analyzed the acquired data and compared the knowledge of the two groups. Results The knowledge of urine volume and the performance of urine volume record in the trial group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). In the control group, the difference in knowledge of aim and singnificance of urine record between the two genders was sigrificant (P<0.05). (the males were better than the females); and was also significant among patients with different educational levels (P<0.05). (the people with college or superior degree was the best, while the ones with primary school education or inferior level was the poorest). Conclusion Using the self-made urine volume record sheet with health knowledge and strengthening the special health education about urine volume can improve the knowledge awareness of the patients and their families, promote the monitoring of patients’ urine, train patients’ self-care awareness, and improve patients’ prognosis.
