Nursing care of TURP and hyperglycemia integrating symptoms management model

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure often used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. TURP often results in multiple symptoms that worsen a patient's condition, such as hyperglycemia. The relationship between TURP and hyperglycemia is not direct, but it is important to consider the potential impact of hyperglycemia on individuals undergoing TURP. The most critical point in the TURP syndrome is early diagnosis and treatment. Nurses should be aware of the symptoms to prevent further outcomes. To optimise the nursing care, integrating of symptoms management model in TURP care is important as it provides a conceptual foundation for understanding patient care, guides clinical decision‐making, contributes to evidence‐based practice and fosters professional development. Also nurses can deliver high‐quality TURP and hyperglycemia care that meets the diverse needs of patients and contributes to positive health outcomes. However, a study describing the symptoms management of patients living with TURP syndrome and hyperglycemia is limited. Therefore, the article aims to explain the management of hyperglycemia among patients after TURP. The findings of this review are expected to help the nurses notice the symptoms and make accurate interventions along with evaluations.
