Understanding the challenges faced by men learning to live with clean intermittent self-catheterisation
1Nurse Consultant, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, The Grange University Hospital, Cwmbran, at the time of writing and is now an Independent Nurse Consultant.
Abstract:
Clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) is considered the preferred option to an indwelling catheter for emptying the bladder in people with a range of voiding dysfunctions. CISC has a lower risk of complications and urinary tract infections. This narrative review of previous qualitative research explores the quality-of-life impacts and highlights the challenges that men face. It will provide nurses who teach CISC with some useful insights into the male experience and the issues of concordance and adherence. This will help to better inform and guide clinical practice in this specialist area of nursing practice.
