“…When considering these results it should be noted that the group evaluating the hydrophilic‐coated catheter also comprised new users, in contrast to the group of previous catheter users. New users may still be in the process of accepting their illness and learning to practice intermittent catheterization (Nevedal, Kratz, & Tate, ; Shaw & Logan, ). These factors could potentially affect the results in favour of users with previous catheter experience.…”

AimsThis study investigated user perception and adherence related to a hydrophilic‐coated urinary catheter (LoFric® Origo™), available for male patients who practice intermittent catheterization.DesignThe study had a prospective observational design, including patients from 19 European hospitals.MethodsA total of 416 patients were eligible for the study; 179 experienced catheter users and 237 de novo. Two questionnaires were filled out, one describing background data and a second, 8 weeks later, evaluating catheter features.ResultsThe response rate for the second questionnaire was 88% (365 patients). Patients evaluating the new catheter showed a general satisfaction rate of 81% and 72% kept using it. The hygienic grip of the catheter was appreciated by 85% and the foldable feature by 67%. The results show that convenience, ease of use, and hygienic factors are patient‐preferred features for a urinary catheter. These factors were confirmed for the evaluated hydrophilic‐coated catheter.

“…On the other hand, maybe intermittent catheterisation was still not fully embedded in daily life. Shaw and Logan () described that it is important to establish a routine so that catheterisation can become automatic and can over time gradually be incorporated into the lives of intermittent catheterisation patients.

Interviewing patients gave important additional information about dealing with intermittent catheterisation in everyday life. Prescribers and teachers of intermittent catheterisation must realise that they often have to high expectations of patients when it comes to being flexible in frequency of catheterisation. It is important to realise that patients experience barriers of which healthcare workers are not always aware of, such as the preparation before the handling and feeling constrained by the need to plan convenient times to catheterise. The outcome of this study can be used to improve the content of patient information brochures and guidelines for intermittent catheterisation.

“…In interview studies performed in the United States of America, patients with SCI stated that the presence of a urine bag attached to an indwelling catheter was a serious handicap for them during their social activities. 27 Although there are no conducted interview studies in our country, our clinical observation is that patients with limited mobilization have limited resources to participate in social activities and mostly spend time at home and do not feel any discomfort with the presence of a urine bag. On the other hand, due to low income most patients who are not independently mobile cannot afford to have a caregiver, which forces them to use an indwelling catheter instead of CIC.…”

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of the spinal lesion and urodynamic findings, bladder drainage method at discharge, and incidence of renal calculi in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Studydesign: Retrospective. Setting: In-patient rehabilitation unit of a tertiary research hospital. Methods: A total of 131 patients who were admitted to our clinic with a diagnosis of SCI and placed into a rehabilitation program were included in the study. The severity of the lesion was determined according to the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS). We evaluated the relationship between the severity of the lesion and the detrusor hyperactivity and compliance as determined by urodynamic investigation, the bladder drainage method used at discharge, and the renal calculi rate as determined by ultrasonography. Results: While no difference was found between the patients with complete and incomplete injuries in terms of age, sex, disease duration, detrusor hyperactivity and compliance, the bladder drainage method was found to show a significant change according to the severity of the lesion. None of the patients were found to have hydronephrosis and the rate of renal calculi showed no statistically significant difference according to the severity of the lesion. Conclusions: We concluded that urodynamic examination is required in each patient with SCI as the severity of the lesion is not sufficient to determine the bladder type, and patients with complete and incomplete injuries should be monitored with the same sensitivity in terms of complications.
