Assessing the Knowledge and Self-confidence of Healthcare Workers to Perform Transurethral Catheterization: A Multicenter Survey
An observational study of Urethral Catheterization and Urethral Catheterization Related Injury, run by Betül Kartal at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Rationale: Healthcare professionals regularly perform transurethral catheterization. They may have not sufficient knowledge, experience, and self-confidence about urethral catheterization. This can cause an increased risk of urethral catheterization-related injury and morbidity. Read more about this study

About this study
Rationale: Healthcare professionals regularly perform transurethral catheterization. They may have not sufficient knowledge, experience, and self-confidence about urethral catheterization. This can cause an increased risk of urethral catheterization-related injury and morbidity. With an appropriate training program, we can raise the knowledge and self-confidence of healthcare professionals in performing transurethral catheterization.
Primary Objective: To compare knowledge and self-confidence amongst healthcare workers in performing urethral catheterization before and after the proposed urethral catheterization training program.
Read more
Secondary Objective: To compare the traumatic catheterization rates before and after the proposed urethral catheterization training program.
Study design: This study is a prospective multi-center trial using a questionnaire for assessing the healthcare professionals about urethral catheterization knowledge and self-confidence before and after a urethral catheterization training program, where their evaluation is scheduled 6 months after the training.
Study population: The study population comprises medical health workers (nurses, paramedics and doctors) from 5 different Medipol Hospitals working at surgical and non-surgical departments.
Intervention: An in-person urethral catheterization training program that utilizes training videos (demonstrating procedures, providing examples of ordinary and difficult cases, utilizing animation techniques as well) Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint is the change in self-reported self-confidence and knowledge in urethral catheterization following the training. The secondary endpoint is the change in complicated/traumatic urethral catheterization following the training. A complicated/traumatic catheterization is defined as a urethral catheterization requiring the intervention of a urologist.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Studying The Reason For Traumatic Catheterization Through Surveys
Evaluating the reason why traumatic catheterization happens (lack of experience, stress, challenging case, wrong equipment, etc.) through surveys prepared for health care workers that are involved in catheterization process.
Measured: 1 year
Reducing The Traumatic Catheterization Case Number Through The Training and Comparison Surveys
After the initial survey results, health care workers will go through a special training period for relearning correct catheterization methods. After the training, case numbers will be compared to before the training period and same survey will be distributed again to health care workers to compare their initial and final survey results.
Measured: 1 year
