The Effect of Nursing Interventions for Clean Intermittent Catheterization Caregivers and Child

The Effect of Nursing Interventions for Clean Intermittent Catheterization on Knowledge / Skills, Coping / Adaptation, Anxiety and Infection Development in Child Caregivers

In neurogenic or non-neurogenic bladder disorders, the removal process after the catheter is inserted into the bladder and the urine has been drained is called Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). After 1972, Lapides started using CIC in the treatment of people who cannot empty their bladder on their own. The decision to apply CIC to patients is made by the doctor. After CIC application, patients's increase body image, self-confidence development and quality of life. CIC application to children is done by caregivers. CIC use has negative effects as well as positive effects for patients. If the caregiver has not received enough training about CIC application and does not pay attention to CIC performing hours and procedure steps, urinary tract infection can be seen in children. Common urinary tract infections in children cause permanent kidney damage. Studies conducted to prevent complications that may develop in patients using CIC emphasize the importance of patient education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of based on the roy adaptation theory supported android phone application CIC training, on the knowledge / skills, coping / adaptation and anxiety level of caregivers and the development of urinary tract infection in children.

Background: It is the bladder, one of the organs with important functions in the urinary system. However, the bladder sometimes cannot work effectively as a result of neurological and sometimes non-neurological reasons. After this situation, urine in the bladder should be emptied. The bladder is one of the most frequently used organs in the urinary system. In neurogenic or non-neurogenic bladder disorders, the process of entering the bladder with a catheter in clean conditions, evacuating urine, and then removing the catheter is called Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC). CIC has been used by patients for nearly 40 years. CIC is one of the effective methods used to protect the urinary system, especially in children with Spina Bifida and people with urinary system problems. CIC application to children is done by caregivers. In the education of caregivers who have to apply CIC to their child the role of nurse to become more and more important. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of based on the roy adaptation theory supported android phone application CIC training, on the knowledge / skills, coping / adaptation and anxiety level of caregivers and the development of urinary tract infection in children. Metod: The universe of the study consisted of the patients and their caregivers who were decided to perform CIC by Karadeniz Technical University Farabi Hospital Pediatric Nephrology Department. In order to determine the sample of the study, the test power in power analysis was calculated with the G * Power 3.1 program. 95% confidence interval in determining the strength of the study; With 5% significance level and 0.50 effect size a total of 36 patients (df = 1; F = 4.130). 36 conforming patients were divided into experimental and control groups for a single- blind randomized control. The data will be collected using the introductory information form, the CIC application knowledge and skills form, based on North American Association of Nursing Diagnoses (NANDA) nursing diagnoses and Psychosocial Adaptation Area of Roy Adaptation Model form, Coping and Adaptation Scale and State Trait Anxiety Scale. In addition, for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in participants undergoing CIC, urinalysis will be performed once a month, three times for three months. Patients with 100,000 colonies per milliliter of urine for urinalysis will be considered to have a urinary tract infection. No additional intervention will be made to caregivers in the control groups. Caregivers in the intervention group (Caregivers who will receive CIC training supported by Android phone application based on Roy adaptation model) will be given CIC training, home visit, and telephone conversation. In addition, an android phone application will be installed on the phones of the caregivers in the intervention group, which reminds the CIC times, procedure steps and hospital appointments. The data will be analyzed using SPSS versiyon with descriptive statistics, Independent t test and Anova in repeated measurements p<0.05 will be statistically significant

The caregivers in experimental group of study were given health training on CIC application, and after the training, the guide booklet was delivered to the participants, the android phone application. After discharge of three urinalysis, three phone calls and home visit. The data collection tools applied to aregivers in experimental group as a pre-test were also applied post-test and retention test. The same data collection tools were applied to control group for pre-test. The caregivers in the control group were not trained, android applications were not installed on their phones, home visits. With the routine practice given in the hospital, he was provided with CIC training. However, one month after discharge, he was asked to give urinalysis once a month for three consecutive months. Urinalysis was taken three times in total. Data collection tools, which were applied as a pre-test when they gave the second urinalysis, were applied again as a post-test.

Because the initiative of the study is based on education. While obtaining informed consent, the purpose and content of the study were explained to the participants. For this reason, the trainees know that they are in the experimental group, and those who do not receive training in the control group.

Application of data collection: Tools as pre-test, post-test and retention test to participants in the experimental group, Education:It includes the training given to the caregivers in the experimental group, delivery of the guide booklet at the end of the training Android phone application: Installing on the phones of the caregivers in the experimental group of the android application, which includes the frequency of CIC application, the CIC application process steps and hospital appointments, created by the nurse for the caregivers in the experimental group and the software is made by the computer engineer. One home visit and three phone calls were made in order to solve the problems that the caregivers in the experimental group experienced with the use of CIC or android use. Urinalysis for children who are inserted and put into the study:All participants in the study were asked to give urine tests three times with an interval of one month after discharge.

As in the experimental group, the caregivers in the control group were pre-tested and post-tested using data collection tools. No intervention was made to the caregivers in the control group. However, caregivers in the control group performed urinalysis three times with an interval of one month after discharge.

Çatal in 2015. The Coping and Adaptation Processing Scale (CAPS) is a 47-item instrument using a Likert scale format with response choices ranging from 4 (always) to 1 (never). Each item of the CAPS is a short statement about how an individual responds to experiencing a crisis or extremely difficult event. Fourteen items are reversed scored. The possible range of scores is from 47 to 188 with a high score indicating a more consistent use of the identified strategies of coping.

State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI) will be used to assess the anxiety levels of caregivers. The scale was created in 1964 by Speilberger and Gorsuch. The scale was adapted to Turkish in 1975 by Öner and Le Compte. The scale consists of two parts, each consisting of 20 items. the first part is the state anxiety scale part. Grouped as (1) None, (2) A little, (3) Much, and (4) All. There are ten reversed statements in the state anxiety scale. These are Articles 1, 2,5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19 and 20. Trait Anxiety Scale is the second part of the scale. Grouped as (1) Almost never, (2) Sometimes, (3) A lot of time, and (4) Almost always. Reversed on the trait anxiety scale there are expressions. These statements are 21, 26, 27, 30, 33, 36 and 39. The scores obtained from each scale range from 20 to 80. The higher the scores obtained from the scale, the higher the anxiety level.

Urine analysis will be performed to evaluate the development of urinary tract infection in children undergoing CIC.The diagnosis of urinary tract infection in children will be made in accordance with the literature with the presence of 100,000 colony bacteria in the urine.

Question form created by adhering to NANDA-I nursing diagnoses based on the concepts in the Roy Adaptation Model and the stimuli in the model.The data collection tool used is not a scale. Created by researchers in line with the literature
