Objetivos:Comparar e avaliar os atributos de dois cateteres vesicais para pessoa em tratamento com resíduo pós-miccional, no cateterismo intermitente limpo (CIL). Método: Estudo quantitativo, observacional e descritivo desenvolvido em ambulatório de referência para 48 municípios, entre setembro e novembro de 2020. Participaram 50 pacientes com resíduo pós-miccional que realizam CIL, com 44,8 anos de idade média, sendo 72% homens. Foram comparados dois cateteres lubrificados, de diferentes tecnologias, ambos com bolsa acoplada, por sete dias, na frequência de seis cateterismos diários, utilizando instrumento validado de percepção da satisfação do cliente. Os dados foram analisados por meio do software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 23.0, e para comparação dos cateteres foi usado o teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon. Resultados: O cateter de policloreto de vinila (PVC) pré-lubrificado com glicerol alcançou maior satisfação entre os participantes nos atributos avaliados (90% versus 86%) em relação ao cateter hidrofílico de poliuretano (PVP) pré-lubrificado, embora sem significância estatística nos escores parciais e totais do instrumento utilizado. Conclusão: O estudo possibilitou comparar os dois cateteres, e a avaliação do escore geral para ambos foi positiva. Algumas avaliações negativas para determinados atributos são passíveis de melhorias, além de ser esse modelo de estudo capaz de discriminar os cateteres, podendo ser reproduzido.

Objectives:To compare and evaluate the aspects of the use of two bladder catheters for the person undergoing treatment with post-void residual, in clean intermittent bladder catheterization (CIL). Method: Quantitative, observational, and descriptive analysis developed in a reference outpatient clinic, for 48 municipalities, from September to November 2020. Fifty patients with post-void residual, who underwent CVIL, took part in the study. Their average age was 44,8 years old, and 72% of them were male. Two lubricated catheters were compared, from different technologies, both with attached bags, for seven days, six catheterizations a day, using a validated instrument of perception of customer satisfaction. Data were analyzed by the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 23.0, and for the comparison of the two catheters it was used the Wilcoxon's non-parametric test. Results: The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) catheter pre-lubricated with glycerol reached greater participant satisfaction in the evaluated attributes (90 versus 86%) in relation to the hydrophilic polyurethane (PVP) pre-lubricated catheter, although there was no statistical significance on the partial or total scores of the instrument used. Conclusion: The study allowed the comparison of two catheters, and the evaluation of the general score for both was positive. Some negative evaluation for certain attributes is possible to be improved. This kind of study is able to discriminate the catheters, and it can be reproduced.

Management of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children update and recommendations on medical treatment

ABSTRACT Introduction: Defective closure of the neural tube affects different systems and generates sequelae, such as neurogenic bladder (NB). Myelomeningocele (MMC) represents the most frequent and most severe cause of NB in children. Damage of the renal parenchyma in children with NB acquired in postnatal stages is preventable given adequate evaluation, follow-up and proactive management. The aim of this document is to update issues on medical management of neurogenic bladder in children. Materials and Methods: Five Pediatric Urologists joined a group of experts and reviewed all important issues on "Spina Bifida, Neurogenic Bladder in Children" and elaborated a draft of the document. All the members of the group focused on the same system of classification of the levels of evidence (GRADE system) in order to assess the literature and the recommendations. During the year 2020 the panel of experts has met virtually to review, discuss and write a consensus document. Results and Discussion: The panel addressed recommendations on up to date choice of diagnosis evaluation and therapies. Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) should be implemented during the first days of life, and antimuscarinic drugs should be indicated upon results of urodynamic studies. When the patient becomes refractory to first-line therapy, receptor-selective pharmacotherapy is available nowadays, which leads to a reduction in reconstructive procedures, such as augmentation cystoplasty.

Evaluation des bonnes pratiques de sondage vésical à demeure chez l'adulte par les soignants: utilisation de « vignettes cliniques »

Introduction. Le sondage urinaire ou vésical est une technique utilisée depuis l'antiquité qui repose sur l'utilisation de dispositifs médicaux invasifs pour le patient. Cet acte de soin doit se faire de façon sécurisée et s'appuyer sur des référentiels. Les objectifs ont été l'évaluation durespect des recommandations du protocole institutionnel sur la pose d'une sonde urinaire à demeure chez l'adulte, le respect del'hygiène et de l'asepsie et l'évaluation des conduites à tenir lors d'une fuite urinaire sur sonde.Matériel et méthodes. Dans le cadre d'une démarche d'évaluation des pratiques professionnelles, une enquête prospective basée sur le concept des « vignettes cliniques » a été menée, avec des mises en situations des soignants du CHU Charles Nicolle, Bois-Guillaume et Oissel en 2011.Résultats. L'enquête révèle un suivi des recommandations sur certains points comme le respect de l'asepsie et du système clos. Des divergences ont été mises en évidence concernant notamment l'usage de la bandelette urinaire chez le patient sondé, le choix du type de sonde et les couples de produits à utiliser pour la détersion et l'antisepsie.Conclusion. Des axes d'améliorations sont proposés comme la sensibilisation des équipes soignantes mais également médicales par le biais notamment d'une plaquette simple et illustrée de support d'information sur les bonnes pratiques de sondage vésical à demeure chez l'adulte et des kits «prêts à l'emploi » de produits pour la détersion et l'antisepsie

Vesicostomy button: how is it placed, in whom, and how is quality of life affected?

ABSTRACT Purpose The vesicostomy button has been shown to be a safe and effective bladder management strategy for short- or medium-term use when CIC cannot be instituted. This study reports our use with the vesicostomy button, highlighting the pros and cons of its use and complications. We then compared the quality or life in patients with vesicostomy button to those performing clean intermittent catheterization. Materials and Methods Retrospective chart review was conducted on children who had a vesicostomy button placed between 2011 and 2015. Placement was through existing vesicostomy, open or endoscopically. We then evaluated placement procedure and complications. A validated quality of life questionnaire was given to patients with vesicostomy button and to a matched cohort of patients performing clean intermittent catheterization. Results Thirteen children have had a vesicostomy button placed at our institution in the 4 year period, ages 7 months to 18 years. Indications for placement included neurogenic bladder (5), non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder (3), and valve bladders (5). Five out of 7 placed via existing vesicostomy had leakage around button. None of the endoscopically placed buttons had leakage. Complications were minor including UTI (3), wound infection (1), and button malfunction/leakage (3). QOL was equal and preserved in patients living with vesicostomy buttons when compared to CIC. Conclusion The vesicostomy button is an acceptable alternative to traditional vesicostomy and CIC. The morbidity of the button is quite low. Endoscopic insertion is the optimal technique. QOL is equivalent in patients with vesicostomy button and those who perform CIC.

Linguistic Validation of the Intermittent Self-catheterization Questionnaire for Patients With Neurogenic Bladder Who Perform Intermittent Catheterization for Voiding Dysfunction / 대한배뇨장애요실금학회지

PURPOSE: In recent years, the importance of patient satisfaction and quality of life—referred to as patient-related outcomes— has been emphasized, in addition to the evaluation of symptoms and severity through questionnaires. However, the questionnaires that can be applied to Korean patients with neurogenic bladder are limited. Therefore, the current study linguistically validated the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire (ISC-Q) as an instrument to evaluate the quality of life of Korean patients with neurogenic bladder who regularly perform clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). METHODS: The validation process included permission for translation, forward translations, reconciliation, backward translation, cognitive debriefing, and proofreading. Two bilingual translators independently translated the original version of the ISC-Q into Korean and then combined the initial translations. A third bilingual translator performed a backward translation of the reconciled version into English. Five Korean-speaking patients with neurogenic bladder carried out the cognitive debriefing. RESULTS: During the forward translation process, the 24 questions of the ISC-Q were translated into 2 Korean versions. The terms used in each version were adjusted from the original version to use more conceptually equivalent expressions in Korean. During the backward translation process, several changes were involving substitutions of meaning. In the cognitive debriefing process, 5 patients were asked to complete the questionnaire. All patients agreed that the questionnaire explained their situation well. CONCLUSIONS: This study presents a successful linguistic validation of the Korean version of the ISC-Q, which could be a useful tool for evaluating treatment satisfaction in patients with neurogenic bladder performing CIC regularly.

Recent Updates in Urinary Catheter Products for the Neurogenic Bladder Patients with Spinal Cord Injury / 대한신경손상학회지

Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is one of the core elements of neurogenic bladder management in the patients with spinal cord injury and is effective and safe to maintain low intra-bladder pressure and achieve urinary continence. Until now, the most notable development in urinary catheter products for CIC is the introduction of hydrophilic coating. Fortunately, in Korea, the national medical insurance has recently covered the cost for urinary catheters in this patient group. The purpose of this review is to summarize the history of CIC and the recent development of urinary catheter products. From our review, we would like to suggest a way of thinking that is the way forward for the future to improve the implementation of CIC with minimal morbidity.

The Effects of Intradetrusor BoNT-A Injections on Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children With Myelodysplasia / 대한배뇨장애요실금학회지

PURPOSE: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), continence status, and urodynamic parameters in children with myelodysplasia who were not responsive to standard conservative therapy.METHODS: The study included 31 children (13 boys, 18 girls) with a mean age of 9.2±2.3 years (range, 5–14 years) with myelodysplasia, retrospectively. All children were fully compatible with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and did not respond to the maximum tolerable anticholinergic dose. All children received an intradetrusor injection of 10 U/kg (maximum, 300 U) of BoNT-A into an infection-free bladder. All patients had VUR (22 unilateral, 9 bilateral) preoperatively. The grade of reflux was mild (grades 1, 2), intermediate (grade 3), and severe (grades 4, 5) in 25, 7, and 8 ureters, respectively.RESULTS: The mean maximum bladder capacity increased from 152.9±76.9 mL to 243.7±103 mL (P<0.001), and the maximum detrusor pressure decreased from 57±29.4 cm H₂O to 29.6±13.9 cm H₂O (P<0.001). After BoNT-A treatment, 16 refluxing ureters (40%) completely resolved, 17 (42.5%) improved, 5 (12.5%) remained unchanged, and 2 (5%) became worse. Of the 31 children with urinary leakage between CICs, 22 (71%) became completely dry, 6 (19%) improved, and 3 (10%) experienced partial improvement.CONCLUSIONS: In children with myelodysplasia, we were able to increase bladder capacity, enhance continence, and prevent VUR by using intradetrusor BoNT-A injections. Although our results are promising, a larger group of long-term prospective studies are warranted to investigate this method of treatment.

Social Determinants of Health in the lives of urinary catheter users / Determinantes Sociales de Salud en la vida de usuarios de cateterismo urinario / Determinantes Sociais de Saúde na vida de usuários de cateterismo urinário

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the influence of social determinants of health on the life conditions of patients who use intermittent urinary catheters. Method: This was a descriptive study conducted in a rehabilitation center with 243 neurogenic bladder patients who used clear intermittent urinary catheters. The study was carried out between March 2012 and October 2015, using interviews based on semi-structured instruments, and data analysis using descriptive statistics. Results: Most of the patients were men, between 16 and 64 years old, single, with an elementary education level, and a monthly household income of 2 to 3 minimum wages. The results show that the social determinants of health were related to socioeconomic, demographic, and health factors. Conclusion: The findings indicate a complex relationship between social determinants of health and the life conditions of patients who use clean intermittent urinary catheters, presenting greater vulnerability related to some aspects of health conditions.

Adherence to the Clean Intermittent Catheterization Following a Customized Intensive Education Program for Patients with Emptying Failure

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate adherence to the clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and influencing factors on the adherence following a customized intensive education program (CIEP). METHODS: This work is a retrospective descriptive study. The subjects were 226 emptying failure patients who learned in a CIEP from January 2012 to July 2014. The program developed in 2011 and consisted of 1) customized theoretical education; based on the results of urologic tests, underlying disease, or surgery of the patients, 2) hands-on practice until the trainees were able to master the techniques, 3) questions about the process of catheterization and what he/she needs to know. 4) at follow-up, the survey about adherence and barrier to CIC. Clinical characteristics; the level of satisfaction, understanding, and self-confidence; the barrier in medical records were reviewed. RESULTS: The short-term adherence rate (median 22 days) is 87.6% and the long-term adherence rate (median 112 days) is 50.4%. The biggest obstacle is time management. The levels of satisfaction, understanding, and self-confidence are very high. The variable of Income is the only factor that has influence on adherence. CONCLUSION: Despite the CIEP, the adherence rate is relatively low. In addition to the education, emotional and psychological supports and regular follow-up are needed to improve long-term adherence.

Adherence to Anticholinergic Therapy and Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis / 대한배뇨장애요실금학회지

PURPOSE: To evaluate adherence to anticholinergic therapy (AT) and clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to identify factors associated with poor adherence. METHODS: This single-center study prospectively included 49 patients suffering from MS who had been prescribed AT and/or CISC. Adherence was evaluated using a self-report questionnaire. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Patient Global Impression of Improvement, Mini-Mental State Examination, Urinary Symptom Profile, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) instruments were administered, and the number of daily anticholinergic pills and/or catheterizations was noted. Whether patients were receiving concomitant intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections was assessed, as were barriers to treatment, side effects, number of spontaneous micturitions, reasons for the prescription, satisfaction, and difficulties. RESULTS: Only 38% of patients were adherent to AT. Experiencing side effects was related to nonadherence (P=0.02). Only 29% of patients were adherent to CISC. More intense voiding dysfunction (P<0.001), a higher frequency of CISC (P=0.03), and a higher EDSS score (P=0.02) were associated with better adherence. Conversely, the HAD score (P<0.001), depression (P<0.001), the persistence of spontaneous micturition (P<0.001), a blocking sensation during catheterization (P=0.04), and the need to adapt one's posture or gesture to perform catheterization (P=0.04) were associated with poorer adherence. CONCLUSIONS: Adherence to AT and CISC was poor in patients with MS suffering from bladder dysfunction. Several factors related to nonadherence were identified in this study, and addressing these factors might help to improve treatment adherence.

Intermittent Self-catheterization in Older Adults: Predictors of Success for Technique Learning / 대한배뇨장애요실금학회지

PURPOSE: The main goal of this retrospective study is to explore the predictors of success in learning clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) in patients over 65 years of age. The secondary goal is to assess whether in this population, the risk of failure to perform CISC is greater, compared with patients under 65 with similar pathologies. METHODS: All patients older than 65 consulting between January 2011 and January 2016 for learning CISC were included. A control population younger than 65 matching with sex, body mass index, and pathology was selected. RESULTS: One hundred sixty-nine of the 202 patients (83.7%) over 65 succeeded in learning CISC. Obesity (P < 0.05), low pencil and paper test (PP test) (P < 0.01) and low functional independence measure (FIM) (P < 0.01) scores were risk factors of failure. No significant differences were found with sex or pathology. In multivariate analysis, low PP test perineum access (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 2.30 [1.32–4.42]), low FIM motor (1.04 [1.01–1.08]), and FIM cognition (1.18 [1.03–1.37]) scores were independent factors of learning failure. Compared to control group, age over 65 was not predictive of failure (P=0.15). CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that success in learning CISC does not depend on age but on difficulties in mobility, access to perineum and probably cognitive disorders.

ABSTRACT Objective To validate a measurement instrument for clean intermittent self-catheterization for patients and health-caregivers. Material and Methods Methodological study of instrument validation performed at a Rehabilitation Center in a University hospital for patients submitted to clean intermittent self-catheterization and their health-caregivers. Following ethical criteria, data were collected during interview with nurse staff using a Likert question form containing 16 items with 5 points each: “no confidence”=1, “little confidence”=2, “confident”=3, “very confident”=4 and “completely confident”=5. Questionnaire called “Self-Confident Scale for Clean Intermittent Self-catheterization” (SCSCISC) was constructed based on literature and previously validated (appearance and content). Results The instrument was validated by 122 patients and 119 health-caregivers, in a proportion of 15:1. It was observed a good linear association and sample adequacy KMO 0.931 and X2=2881.63, p<0.001. Anti-image matrix showed high values at diagonal suggesting inclusion of all factors. Screen plot analysis showed a suggestion of items maintenance in a single set. It was observed high correlation of all items with the total, alpha-Cronbach 0.944. The same results were obtained in subsamples of patients and health-caregivers. Conclusion The instrument showed good psychometric adequacy corroborating its use for evaluation of self-confidence during clean intermittent self-catheterization.

Construção e validação de vídeo educativo para orientação de pais de crianças em cateterismo intermitente limpo / Construction and validation of educational video for guidance of parents of children in clean intermittent catheterization

A Disfunção Miccional (DM) é um distúrbio na dinâmica de armazenamento e esvaziamento da bexiga, em que afeta crianças. Um dos principais tratamentos para a DM é o uso do Cateterismo Intermitente Limpo (CIL), a fim de evitar complicações. Este procedimento pode ser realizado por um cuidador, sendo necessário acompanhamento e orientação da equipe de saúde por meio da educação em saúde. A adaptação da criança e da família torna-se um aspecto relevante. Deste modo, utilizou como referencial teórico, a teoria de adaptação de Callista Roy, a qual destaca quatro metaparadigmas: pessoa, ambiente, saúde e enfermagem. Objetivou-se construir vídeo para a promoção do cuidado por pais e cuidadores de crianças em CIL, bem como validar o vídeo, quanto ao conteúdo e aparência, por juízes de conteúdo e técnicos. Trata-se de estudo metodológico, desenvolvido no período de março a dezembro de 2016, no Laboratório de Comunicação em Saúde do Departamento de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Participaram nove especialistas de conteúdo e três técnicos para validar o roteiro de vídeo educativo. Dados obtidos foram organizados no programa Excel e analisados pelo software SPSS versão 20.0. Para a análise dos dados estatísticos, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC). Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Ceará sob parecer 1.615.750.

Quality of life of patients using intermittent urinary catheterization / Qualidade de vida de pacientes usuários do cateterismo urinário intermitente / Calidad de vida de pacientes usuarios de cateterismo vesical intermitente

ABSTRACT Objectives: measure and compare the quality of life of neurogenic bladder patients using intermittent urinary catheterization who were going through rehabilitation in Brazil and Portugal. Method: multicenter, quantitative, cross-sectional, observational-analytic and correlational study executed in Brazil and Portugal. Two data collection tools were used, being one questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-bref. Patients were included who were over 18 years of age, suffering from neurogenic urinary bladder and using intermittent urinary catheterization. Results: in the sample of Brazilian (n = 170) and Portuguese (n = 52) patients, respectively, most patients were single (87-51.2%; 25-48.1%), had finished primary education (47-45.3%; 31-59.6%) and were retired (70-41.2%; 21-40.4%). Spinal cord injury was the main cause of using the urinary catheter in both countries. The Brazilian patients presented higher mean quality of life scores in the psychological domain (68.9) and lower scores in the physical domain (58.9). The Portuguese patients presented higher scores in the psychological domain (68.4) and lower scores in the environment domain (59.4). The execution of intermittent urinary self-catheterization was significant for both countries. Conclusions: in the two countries, these patients' quality of life can be determined by the improvement in the urinary symptoms, independence, self-confidence, social relationships and access to work activities.

Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization as a Treatment Modality for Urinary Retention: Perceptions of Urologists / 대한배뇨장애요실금학회지

PURPOSE: Clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) is now considered the gold standard for the management of urinary retention. In the literature, several articles on patients’ perspectives on CISC and adherence to this technique have been published. No studies have yet explored the points of view of professional caregivers, such as nurses and doctors. The aim of this study was to explore the opinions of urologists about CISC and to evaluate the need for dedicated nurses specialized in CISC through a self-administered questionnaire. METHODS: A questionnaire was developed to explore the opinions of professional caregivers about self-catheterization and to evaluate the need to provide nurses with specialized education in CISC. Questionnaires were sent to 244 urologists through email. We received 101 completed questionnaires. The response rate was 41.4%. RESULTS: Hand function, the presence or absence of tremor, and visual acuity were rated as the most important determinants for proposing CISC to a patient. Twenty-five percent of the urologists reported that financial remuneration would give them a greater incentive to propose CISC. The lack of dedicated nurses was reported by half of the urologists as a factor preventing them from proposing CISC. A meaningful number of urologists thought that patients perceive CISC as invasive and unpleasant. Although most urologists would choose CISC as a treatment option for themselves, almost 1 urologist out of 5 would prefer a permanent catheter. CONCLUSIONS: This questionnaire gave valuable insights into urologists’ perceptions of CISC, and could serve as the basis for a subsequent broader international study. Further research should also focus on the opinions of nurses and other caregivers involved in incontinence management. Apart from financial remuneration, it is also clear that ensuring sufficient expertise and time for high-quality CISC care is important. This could be a potential role for dedicated nurses.
