Living with a permanent urinary catheter from the patient´s point of view
ZIKEŠOVÁ, Miroslava
The theoretical part describes the urinary system, history of urinary catheterization, types of urinary catheters, complications associated with catheterization and the most common diseases in which a permanent urinary catheter is inserted. Moreover, the issue of permanent urinary catheter care in the home environment and patient education are solved. The practical part of the thesis contains the results of a qualitative research obtained from interviews with patients with a long-term permanent urinary catheter and from the nursing observation at the urology department. In the practical part, the first aim was to elicit whether patients are sufficiently familiar with the care of a permanent urinary catheter before being released to their home environment. Therefore, two research questions were set up: What information does a patient with a permanent urinary catheter have before being released for home treatment? In what area does the patient lack information on care of a permanent urinary catheter? The second aim of the thesis was to elicit whether patients manage the care of an inserted catheter in their home environment. Hence, two research questions were set up: What problems does a patient encounter in the care of a permanent urinary catheter at home? How do patients solve possible problems associated with a permanent urinary catheter? A qualitative research survey found that patients are sufficiently familiar with the care of a permanent urinary catheter in their home environment and they are able to care of it without major problems. This bachelor thesis could serve as a basis for creating information material for patients who will be released into the home environment with a permanent urinary catheter.
