    Male patients fearing urine leakage can transition to intermittent self-catheterization using a novel condom catheter technique. This method provides a secure bridge, building confidence before full conversion to self-catheterization.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Patient Education
    • Catheter Management

    Background:

    • Indwelling catheters are common but can lead to patient resistance in switching to intermittent self-catheterization.
    • Fear of urine leakage is a primary barrier for patients considering the transition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel method for converting male patients from indwelling catheters to intermittent self-catheterization.
    • To address patient fears of urine leakage during the transition period.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique involving temporary use of an external condom catheter was taught to male patients.
    • Patients performed self-catheterization through the condom catheter lumen until continence and confidence were achieved.

    Main Results:

    • The study reports on the effectiveness of this specific approach to facilitate conversion.
    • This method aims to build patient confidence and manage leakage concerns during the transition.

    Conclusions:

    • The external condom catheter method offers a viable strategy for overcoming patient reluctance in adopting intermittent self-catheterization.
    • This technique may improve adherence and successful management of urinary continence.
