About this study

Official title: Development and Psychometric Validation of a Scale Assessing "the Acceptance" of Clean Intermittent Self Catheterization in a Neurological and no Neurological Population With Indication to Self Catheterization.

The aim of the study is to create and validate a specific test named Intermittent Catheterization Acceptance Test (I-CAT), assessing "the acceptance" of clean intermittent self catheterization (CISC) in a neurological and no neurological population with indication to self catheterization.

CISC avoids urological complications in bladder with chronic and improves quality of life. Despite theses challenges, the learning of CISC can face some physical, cognitive and psychological difficulties. Recently, we have validate a new test for predicting the physical and cognitive abilities to practice CISC named "PP-Test". Meanwhile, psychological factors are not explored in this test. To our knowledge, no study has been conducted in order to demonstrate in a prospective trial, which kind of psychological barriers can exist. Likewise it would be interesting to create a new test assessing the psychological "acceptance" of the patients to CISC before learning (I-CAT). Based on the results of this self-assessment test, the specific nurse could then change her speech by playing down the importance of some fear and anxiety described by the patients. The learning of CISC would be facilitated.

Read the detailed description

The first version of the questionnaire (I-CAT) has already been elaborated from some neuro-urology experts and patients's comments.

The final version will be validated after a feasibility study. The psychometric criteria will be validated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    I-CAT will be a self assessment questionnaire and a simple, comprehensive and quickly passed questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intermittent catheterization acceptance test (I-CAT)

    In order to validate the questionnaire, the patients will have to respond to I-CAT at 3 times:

    • the day the CISC's indication is decided
    • at the learning'CISC consultation about 8 days later
    • during the verification's CISC consultation about 15 days later

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intermittent catheterization test in people with Intermittent Self Catheterization, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intermittent catheterization acceptance test (I-CAT) (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2015.
