Teaching children and young people intermittent self-catheterization.

Psychometrics of the self-efficacy instrument of clean intermittent urinary catheterization in patients with neural bladder admitted to rehabilitation hospitals in Tehran in 2019

Background: The incidence of neural bladder is increasing today and these people need catheterization. Intermittent clean urinary catheterization is a low-risk method for the patients. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive methodological and validation research. For content validity, 10 people were selected by purposive method. For face validity, 25 people were chosen by convenience met...

Increasing accuracy and decreasing latency during clean intermittent self-catheterization procedures with young children.

We examined the effects of simulation training on performance of clean intermittent self-catheterization procedures with 2 young girls. Simulation training was conducted, after which independent performance was assessed within a multiple baseline design. The training resulted in increased accuracy and decreased latency for both girls.

A qualitative descriptive study of self-management issues in people with long-term intermittent urinary catheters.

AIM The study was to identify and describe issues of intermittent urinary catheter users for future self-management research and/or training programmes. BACKGROUND Limited studies were found of how people using clean intermittent catheterization manage their daily routines or troubleshoot problems. Self-management research related to intermittent catheterization could lead to improved complia...

Assessing and teaching female intermittent self-catheterization.

Review of intermittent catheterization and current best practices.

Intermittent catheterization is the insertion and removal of a catheter several times a day to empty the bladder. This type of catheterization Is used to drain urine from a bladder that is not emptying adequately or from a surgically created channel that connects the bladder with the abdominal surface (such as Mitrofanoff continent urinary diversion). Intermittent catheterization is widely advo...
