Long-term intermittent catheterization suits self-caring patients with voiding issues. This method can reduce urinary problems, improve continence, and enhance overall quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Voiding dysfunction affects numerous patients requiring long-term management.
  • Intermittent catheterization (IC) is a key intervention for managing bladder emptying.
  • Patient self-care capability is crucial for successful long-term IC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term suitability and outcomes of intermittent catheterization.
  • To assess the impact of IC on urinary tract health and continence.
  • To determine the effect of IC on patients' quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Review of long-term intermittent catheterization protocols.
  • Analysis of patient self-care adherence and outcomes.
  • Assessment of urinary tract infection rates and continence status.
