The Application of Evaluation Sheet for Patients Needed Clean Intermittent Catheterization

To evaluate the mastery level of clean catheterization-related knowledge and operational procedures for patients/caregivers that needed clean intermittent catheterization of spinal cord injury, evaluation sheet was applied to sixty cases of spinal cord injury patients or their caregivers to evaluate their mastery level of clean catheterization-related knowledge and operational procedures. Then according to the results, individually targeted guidance was given until all the seven items of the sheet were reached ‘yes’. Sixty patients can all master clean intermittent catheterization, 43 patients recovered reflex bladder, with 29 cases of residual urine volume (PVR) less than 80 ml, 6 cases of PVR ranging from 80-200 ml, and 8 cases of PVR ranging from 200-250 ml; 17 patients didn’t recover reflex bladder. The evaluation sheet for clean intermittent catheterization can largely standardize the education content and operating procedures from clinical nursing, help nurses to evaluate the mastery levels of patients/caregivers with clean intermittent catheterization of spinal cord injury.
