Urinary Catheter Self-care Management

Education Given to Patients With Urinary Catheters on Urinary Catheter Self-care Management and Urinary Tract Infection Impact on Status

It is important for healthcare professionals to be sensitive to the needs of patients undergoing urinary catheterization. Patients and their relatives should be educated, guided and supported by nurses and other healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of education given to patients with urinary catheterization on urinary catheter self-care management and urinary tract infection status. is planned as an experimental research.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Chronic Diseases
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Education; Other: without patient education

Detailed Description

The most important risk factor in the development of healthcare-associated infections of the urinary system is the insertion of a urinary catheter. Because when a urinary catheter is inserted, the possibility of developing daily bacteriuria inthe patient increases. Urinary catheter application can cause the development of fungal infections as well as bacterial infections in the patient. Although most of these infections are asymptomatic and do not pose a threat, symptomatic serious infections rarely occur. may occur. There is a risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in both long and short-term catheterization. This risk increases as the duration of catheterization increases. According to the Nursing Regulation published in 2011 in our country, the initiatives in this direction are expected to be continued by nurses. Therefore, in this study, the knowledge and practices of patients with urinary catheter will be examined and the effect of the education given on urinary catheter self-care management and urinary tract infection status will be evaluated. It is thought that the results of the study will guide patients with urinary catheters and nurses who provide care about the care and education of patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Other: Patient with urinary catheter receiving patient education; The population of the study consisted of urinary catheterized patients treated in the clinics of a Training and Research Hospital. G*Power power analysis was used to calculate the number of individuals constituting the sample. The effect size was set to 0.80, which is a high level according to Cohen for comparing the means of independent samples. To ensure that the statistical power of the study was above 95%, the sample size was set at a 5% significance level and the effect size was 0.5. (df = 68; t = 1.668) The sample size was calculated as 70 patients. The study is planned to be conducted with 35 patients for each of the two study groups.	Other: Education; Patients with urinary catheter insertion during the study periods will be identified and consent will be obtained for the study. In the first stage of the study, questionnaires will be applied face to face to the experimental group and the control group. Then, education and brochures will be given to the patients in the experimental group. Patients in the experimental group will be visited and evaluated every day until the urinary catheter is removed. After the urinary catheter is removed, the patients in the experimental group and urinary catheter self-care management scale will be applied to the control group.
Other: Patient with urinary catheter without patient education; The population of the study consisted of urinary catheterized patients treated in the clinics of a Training and Research Hospital. G*Power power analysis was used to calculate the number of individuals constituting the sample. The effect size was set to 0.80, which is a high level according to Cohen for comparing the means of independent samples. To ensure that the statistical power of the study was above 95%, the sample size was set at a 5% significance level and the effect size was 0.5. (df = 68; t = 1.668) The sample size was calculated as 70 patients. The study is planned to be conducted with 35 patients for each of the two study groups.	Other: without patient education; without patient education

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Urinary Catheter Self-Care Management Scale	The Urinary Catheter Self-Care Management Scale consists of a total of 13 items and 4 sub-dimensions.Urinary Catheter Self-Efficacy was funded by the United States National Institute of Nursing Research and developed by Wilde et al. in 2016. The scale consists of a total of 13 items and 4 subscales. The sub-dimensions of the scale are related to physician/nurse communication (items: items 7, 8, 9 and 13), avoid restriction of daily activities (items 10, 11 and 12), prevention of catheter dislodgement (items 4, 5 and 6) and self-efficacy/ fluid intake (items 1, 2 and 3). Scale items are scored on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = "I am not at all sure that I can do it" to 10 = "I am not at all sure that I can do it". "I am completely sure that I can do it" and high scores indicate high self-efficacy. is a good measure of the quality of the study.	10 days
