Two groups of patients with urinaly dysfunction (except for such cases as stenosis of urethera) participated: eleven patients carried out pelvic muscle training starting two weeks after surgery (Group A), and twenty eight patients did not carry out them (Group B). The revised tool based on International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was employed for evaluating the effectiveness of pelvic muscle training. It consisted of eight items regarding “sense of micturition” was added to the seven items on IPSS. Significant differences were founded for the following items ：“residual feeling after urination”；“frequent urination of less than two hours”； and “sudden stoppage of stream”. Especially, “the residual feeling after urination” as shown to have significantly improve more at the time of discharge, and one and three months after discharge as compared to the control group. Moreover, a positive influence onto daily life was found, as there were no patients who gave up traveling from the experimental group. This can be evaluated as a meaning of the training.
　The results suggest that a need of further guiding pelvic floor muscle training to improve urinary dysfunction following radical prostatectomy.

　The purpose of this study is to analyze the care behavior of the WOCN in stoma rehabilitation and explain those characteristics. The qualitative and inductive method was used as the study method. The behavior of the WOCN was analyzed from the side of the purpose and characteristics. As the result, 130 codes were extracted. These codes were grouped into 51 subcategories, 21 categories, and finally into 5 core categories. The contents of 5 core categories were 1) Giving nursing technology that it was skillful based on the caring. 2) Giving excellent care practice by the integration of the experience, special knowledge and the information for the prevention and improvement of the stoma and the skin difficulty, and their individualization. 3) The embodied patient education to lead to the establishment of self-care. 4) Providing mental support to patients and families toward the adaptation of the difficulty. 5) Doing collaboration and education inter-nurses and co-worker for smoothing of high quality stoma care. These concepts show that WOCN provide refined knowledge and nursing technology and raise the heart which adapts itself to the obstacle of patients and families, and draw their self-care ability. They also show and the high behavior of the quality which faced the purpose, goal of the stoma rehabilitation with nurses and co-worker.
