Evaluation Patient Satisfaction After Passive Bladder Catheter Removal Compared to Active Removal
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Passive indwelling urinary catheter removal: After washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the indwelling urinary catheter balloon and instructs the patient to take a shower (standing). During this time, the catheter will fall under gravity.
Active indwelling catheter removal by a nurse: After washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction.
Study summary
In usual practice, the removal of the bladder catheter is performed by a nurse a few days after the surgery. The nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction. To date, there are no solid data on the impact of passive catheter removal on patient satisfaction.
It is therefore necessary to estimate the effect on patient satisfaction of active catheter removal by a nurse versus passive catheter removal under gravity. The effect on pain and anxiety will also be compared between the two techniques. The methodology used was that of an open-label randomized controlled trial.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Patient satisfaction score — Within one hour after indwelling urinary catheter removal at day 0
Patient satisfaction score using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from the minimum value 0 (The worse score) to the maximum value 10 (The better Score)
