Summary

This review highlights the need for evidence-based practices in suprapubic catheterization (SPC) and subsequent client care. Current practices often lack research support, particularly in gynecology, necessitating a shift towards evidence-based care.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nursing Care
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Suprapubic catheterization (SPC) is a medical procedure requiring specific client care protocols.
  • Existing practices in SPC care, especially within gynecology, show significant variation.
  • There is a noted deficiency in research and evidence-based guidelines supporting current care methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on suprapubic catheterization and its associated client care.
  • To identify conditions and situations necessitating SPC.
  • To highlight discrepancies in care approaches and advocate for evidence-based practice.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of existing literature on suprapubic catheterization.
  • Analysis of practices related to infection avoidance, dressings, and insertion site care.
  • Exploration of gynecological applications and associated care variations.

Main Results:

  • Limited research and evidence-based practice support many current suprapubic catheterization care protocols.
  • Significant variations in care approaches exist, particularly in the gynecological field.
  • Current practices may be based on tradition rather than scientific findings.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need to transition from traditional practices to evidence-based care in suprapubic catheterization.
  • Further research is required to establish robust guidelines for SPC insertion site care and infection prevention.
  • Practitioners should prioritize research findings to ensure optimal client outcomes.
