Background:

Spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently necessitates long-term urinary catheter use.
Intermittent urinary catheterization (IUC) is a common management strategy for bladder dysfunction in SCI.
Effective self-management is crucial for preventing complications associated with IUC.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and describe a novel Web-based self-management intervention for individuals with SCI using IUC.
To provide users with accessible educational resources and tools for managing their urinary care.
To introduce an online urinary diary for tracking and monitoring.

Main Methods:

Development of a comprehensive, user-friendly Web-based platform.
Inclusion of an educational module covering key aspects of IUC.
Integration of a digital urinary diary for daily record-keeping and symptom tracking.

Main Results:

The intervention comprises distinct components designed for self-management.
The educational content is presented through an accessible online book format.
The online urinary diary allows for detailed tracking of catheterization and related data.

Conclusions:

A new digital tool has been created to support SCI individuals using IUC.
This intervention aims to empower users in managing their urinary health effectively.
The Web-based platform offers a potentially valuable resource for improving IUC self-care and outcomes.
