What are the guidelines on education?
Guidelines recommend that comprehensive training on Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) technique should be provided to neurourological patients.1-3
Additionally, whenever a patient presents with a UTI, IC technique and frequency must be reviewed.3
What is the impact of IC training?
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the UTI frequency upon educational intervention. It showed:
- less bacteriuria
- fewer symptom reports
- fewer antibiotic treatment episodes
- lower UTI frequency4
Another multi-center study showed that a good education program (ep) can improve adherence to IC during the first year at home :
- 99% (ep) vs. 83%5
