Abstract：Objective To explore the reliability of patients’ sensation of the need to urinate,and to investigate the optimal volume and duration of bladder filling and training method for the stability of bladder filling. Methods From 2014 to 2015,Fifty patients with pelvic tumor were divided into group A and group B,according to whether they had the history of diseases or surgery in the pelvis or urinary system. Both groups received training of the sensation of the need to urinate. The training required patients to drink a fixed volume of water every time they emptied the bladder. The bladder capacity was measured by a bladder scanner (BladderScan BVI 9400),and a rating scale of the sensation of the need to urinate was completed at 30 min,45 min,1 h,and over 1 h when the patient sensed the limit for bladder capacity. The optimal volume and duration of bladder filling or optimal frequency for the training were explored. The paired t-test method was performed for the difference between the predictive value and the measured value,Pearson method was performed for correlation between the sensation of the need to urinate and the measured value. Results In the A and B groups,there was no significant difference between the predicted value and measured value (A:predicted value and measured value P=0.777,B:predicted value and measured value P=0.061),suggesting that the measured value could be used to reflect the predictive value. Compared with group B,group A had a higher correlation between the sensation of the need to urinate and the measured value (rA=0.812,rB=0.762).The correlation between the predictive value and the measured value became the highest at 45 min and 1 h (r=0.858 and 0.916),and the corresponding bladder filling volume and score of the sensation of the need to urinate were 330-450 ml and 4-6,respectively. The correlation between the predictive value and the measured value increased with the frequency of the training (r2=0.914,r3=0.917,r4=0.930,r5=0.951,r6=0.962). Conclusions Before radiotherapy,patients with pelvic tumor should received at least 4-6 rounds of the training of bladder filling. Patients should drink 800-1400 ml of water every time they empty the bladder,and the optimal bladder filling volume and the reliable and stable sensation of the need to urinate will be achieved after 45 min-1 h. For the patients with the history of urinary system diseases or pelvic surgery,the bladder filling volume needs to be measured using a bladder scanner (BladderScan BVI 9400) during the training before radiotherapy.
