Following surgery, parents receive instructions and recommendations, whether from nurses or physicians, regardless of complication rates. However, nurses play a crucial role in educating caregivers before surgery and providing postoperative care during follow-up. The study aims to assess parents\u2019 knowledge and practices, as well as the frequency of complications in boys who underwent urethroplasty for hypospadias and received postoperative nurse-led care and whose parents received preoperative education against those of boys who underwent urethroplasty under routine hospital care. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, Han Chinese boys aged 21\u201341 months in Western China who underwent urethroplasty for hypospadias were divided into two groups: the NI cohort (n = 103), where they received postoperative nurse-led care and their parents received preoperative education, and the RH cohort (n = 142), where boys underwent routine hospital care. Results: After urethroplasty, higher numbers of caregivers with satisfactory knowledge (96 (93%) vs. 80 (56%), p &lt; 0.0001) and practice (102 (99%) vs. 132 (93%), p = 0.0276) were reported in the NI cohort compared to the RH cohort. Additionally, a higher number of boys in the RH cohort experienced adverse effects such as moderate bleeding (13 (9%) vs. 1 (1%), p = 0.0052), wound infection (17 (12%) vs. 4 (4%), p = 0.0356), urinary obstruction (35 (25%) vs. 10 (10%), p = 0.0049), burning sensation (47 (33%) vs. 15 (15%), p = 0.0019), and urinary stent fall (32 (23%) vs. 6 (6%), p = 0.0008) compared to those in the NI cohort. Conclusion: Preoperative instructions enhance caregivers\u2019 knowledge and practices following urethroplasty, while postoperative nurseled care reduces immediate postoperative complications associated with hypospadias in boys.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.55730\/1300-0144.5811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,8]],"date-time":"2024-04-08T04:12:01Z","timestamp":1712549521000},"page":"459-470","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Preoperative parent education and postoperative nurse-led care for boys versus routine hospital care for urethroplasty for hypospadias in Western China: a retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.55730","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Lisi","family":"WANG","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University\/West China School of Nursing, , Sichuan University,\nChengdu, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhengdong","family":"WANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University\/West China School of\nNursing, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaohui","family":"MAO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University\/West China School of\nNursing, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingjun","family":"FU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University\/West China School of\nNursing, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"LEI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University\/West China School of\nNursing, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"LIAO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan University West China Hospital: West China Hospital of Sichuan University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"34691","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]]},"container-title":["Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,22]],"date-time":"2026-10-22T14:51:24Z","timestamp":1792680684000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.tubitak.gov.tr\/medical\/vol54\/iss2\/12"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.55730\/1300-0144.5811","relation":{},"ISSN":["1300-0144"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1300-0144","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]]}}}
