This article describes a nursing experience in helping a woman with traumatic spinal cord injury-induced neurogenic bladder adapt to intermittent self-catheterization in her daily life. From December 5^(th) to December 22^(nd), 2018, assessment was applied to evaluate and collect data. The authors were able to establish the patient had three nursing issues-impaired urinary elimination, caregiver role strain, and powerlessness. During the nursing period, an anatomical model of the female genital organs was used as a teaching aid to help the patient learn the techniques and precautions of self-catheterization, reduce her anxiety, and enable her to be competent in the task, in order to restore normal urinary elimination pattern. Meanwhile, the authors also gave the caregiver encouragement and provided ways to relieve his stress and nervousness, to make him more confident in helping the patient perform intermittent self-catheterization. By careful listening, empathetic attitude, companionship and care initiatives plus the family support and encouragement, the authors were able to motivate the patient to accept the situation, make her willing to overcome the challenge again, and ultimately help her regain her everyday life. With the sharing of this nursing experience, the authors hope to provide a clinical reference for other nursing staff.
