PURPOSE: The study was conducted to investigate the effects of training provided by researcher and the use of cranberry capsule in preventing late term UTIs after urostomy. METHODS: The study included 60 patients who underwent ileal conduit diversion between June 2013 and November 2014. The participants were randomly divided into three groups. First group used cranberry capsule, second group received training about UTIs and the other control group. The patients were assessed for a UTI by laboratory analysis at 2, 3, and 4 months after discharge. RESULTS: When the effect of cranberry capsule use and training on the prevention of urinary tract infections were compared, we found that there was a significant difference between the group that used and didn't use cranberry capsules, favoring the cranberry capsule (log-rank test; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We found that the use of cranberry capsules is effective in the prevention of urinary tract infections.
