Tujuan: Menilai manfaat edukasi mengenai gangguan berkemih neurogenik pada pasien cedera medulla spinalis (CMS) di RSUP Fatmawati terhadap pengetahuan dan kemampuan mengatasi masalah.Metode: Desain studi eksperimental. Subyek 22 orang pasien paraplegi karena CMS dengan gangguan berkemih neurogenik yang dirawat pertama kali di RSUP Fatmawati. Subyek diberikan program edukasi yang terdiri dari 7 topik selama rentang 3 minggu. Dilakukan penilaian pengetahuan dan kemampuan masalah dengan menggunakan kuesioner pada awal penelitian, pasca pemberian edukasi, dan 3 bulan pasca edukasi. Selain itu dilakukan penilaian kepentingan topik edukasi menurut subyek dengan skala Likert.Hasil: 22 subyek menyelesaikan penilaian awal dan pasca edukasi, namun hanya 18 orang yang dapat dihubungi saat follow up 3 bulan. Terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan yang bermakna antara awal dan pasca edukasi (p=0,033), pasca edukasi dan follow up (p=0,047). Terdapat peningkatan yang bermakna pada kemampuan menyelesaikan masalah antara awal dan pasca edukasi (p=0,000), tidak terdapat perubahan bermakna antara pasca edukasi dan follow up (p=0,157). Seluruh topik edukasi yang diberikan dianggap penting oleh subyek.Kesimpulan: Terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan menyelesaikan masalah setelah pemberian edukasi, dan terdapat retensi sampai dengan 3 bulan pasca edukasi. Pemberian program edukasi mengenai gangguan berkemih neurogenik pada pasien CMS penting untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan menyelesaikan masalah, serta mencegah komplikasi urologis.

Results : All subjects finished the initial and post education assessment, but only 18 subjects finished follow up evaluation. There was significant difference in knowledge between initial and post education assessment (p=0.033) and between post education and follow up (p=0.047). There was significant improvement in problem solving skill between initial and post education assessment (p=0.000) and no significant difference between post education and follow up (p=0.157). All topics given perceived as important by all the subjects.

Conclusion : There is a significant improvement in knowledge and problem solving skill after educational program, and there is retention up to 3 months after education.
