Maribel, functional urology nurse at San Cecilio Clinical Hospital in Granada, reflects on the evolution of the urological nursing role and her commitment to NESA technology as a new therapeutic tool for her patients.
She highlights how urological nursing has transformed its professional profile, moving from an auxiliary role to an autonomous figure with its own agenda and capacity for clinical decision-making. This context of greater responsibility drives her to constantly seek new options for her patients.
Her daily challenge is clear: there are urological pathologies that have no cure, and the goal is to improve quality of life, not promise complete resolution. She describes with sensitivity the reality of these patients — frequently young or middle-aged people — who have lost their social life due to fear of urine leaks or urinary urgency, secluded at home and with a great emotional impact.
She sees in NESA a real opportunity for that patient profile: if balancing the autonomic nervous system — sympathetic and parasympathetic — improves the symptomatology, the impact on quality of life can be transformative. For her, achieving that a patient can simply go for a walk calmly is already an extraordinary success.
