Continent urinary diversion is a tube surgically designed with parts of the bowel in the lower wall of the abdomen with the aim of making possible the vesical emptying in people whose clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is not feasible through the urethra. Spinal cord injury is a catastrophic event in people’s lives and compromises urination control, since the bladder functioning is altered: neurogenic bladder. In these cases, bladder emptying management happens by clean intermittent self-catheterization; however, for some people with spinal cord injury and high degree of physical-functional compromise, it is necessary the help of a person for daily life care, among them the assisted CIC , which ends up compromising these people’s autonomy and privacy. This study, a phenomenological qualitative research, aimed at evaluating the effect of continent urinary stoma in the quality of life of subjects with spinal cord injury. The sampling of this study was composed of 15 subjects with spinal cord injury of traumatic or congenital etiology (tetraplegia, paraplegia or myelomeningocele), with difficulties of self-catheterization through the native urethra or difficulty situations presented by the caregiver when performing the CIC. Procedures for data collection were: a) use of a specific questionnaire to find what are the sociodemographic and clinical data and the perception about quality of life and continent urinary stoma; b) performance of online or present semi-structured interviews; and c) electronic record review. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were carried out according to Bardin’s proposal in order to analyze the participants’ verbalizations. Results showed predominance of the female gender, from 16 to 48 years old, with low educational level. The most representative subgroup of spinal cord injury was of tetraplegia subjects, followed by myelomeningocele ones. Most participants became independent for management of vesical emptying, and the number of urinary infections after the vesical diversion and amplification confection decreased. We can state that most respondents (14) is satisfied with urinary diversion and that, according to quality of life improvement, 12 participants made a strong correlation (good and very good) with the quality of life. Bardin’s content analysis pointed out ten theoretical categories: “I am more independent”; “I don’t lose my willingness to pee”; “my lesion”; “quality of life for me is...”, “lack of accessibility”; “I had a very active life”; “I don’t care about esthetics”; “do not understand this”; “a little to complain” and “sex decreased”. In the cases studied, positive implication of continent urinary stoma in the quality of life of subjects with spinal cord injury and high degree of physical-functional compromise were confirmed, as well as CIC impracticability due to native urethra.
