What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of an e-booklet training program on the self-efficacy and comfort levels of patients undergoing short-term urinary catheterization. It aims to address common complications associated with catheter use, such as infections and discomfort, by enhancing patients' knowledge and skills through digital resources. The study will involve inpatients in the Urology Clinic who are literate and can use information technologies. Participants will be assessed on their comfort and self-efficacy before and after the intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include literate inpatients aged 18-75 who are undergoing short-term catheterization and can use digital devices.
Not a fit: Patients with hearing, vision, or comprehension problems, as well as those unable to complete the data collection tool, may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce complications and improve the overall experience for patients requiring urinary catheterization.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on e-booklet interventions specifically for urinary catheterization, similar educational approaches have shown promise in improving patient outcomes in other healthcare settings.
