About this study

Official title: Comparison of Mobile Education and Face-to-Face Intermittent Catheterization Education in Terms of Knowledge and Skill Levels of Nursing Students

Today, Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) is widely used to drain urine accumulated in the bladder in acute or chronic problems such as neurogenic bladder and prostate hypertrophy.The success of the technique depends largely on patient education and follow-up.Nurses play a fundamental role in providing theoretical and practical learning in CIC training and early detection of complications. Although face-to-face education is widely used in the education of nursing students, mobile applications have become popular in recent years. There is no previous study in the literature on clean intermittent catheterization education with nursing students. The purpose of this study is to compare mobile-assisted education with face-to-face intermittent catheterization education in terms of knowledge and skill levels of nursing students.

Read the detailed description

Today, Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) is widely used to drain urine accumulated in the bladder in acute or chronic problems such as neurogenic bladder and prostate hypertrophy.Since CIC is a procedure performed on the bladder, it may cause some complications.In order to prevent or reduce complications, CIC application must be performed successfully. The success of the technique depends largely on patient education and follow-up.Nurses play a fundamental role in providing theoretical and practical learning in CIC training and early detection of complications.For this reason, it is important for nurses to have knowledge on this subject in terms of the quality of the education to be given and patient follow-up. Although there are international guidelines in the literature prepared for nurses who will provide CIC training, nursing students' knowledge on this subject is generally limited to indwelling urinary catheterization.Today, the rapid development of technology and pandemics such as COVID-19 have shown the importance of alternative education methods in addition to face-to-face education. Educational technologies are used in nursing education and these methods provide student-centered education to students wherever and whenever they want.It is important for nursing students to understand this issue better through mobile applications and face-to-face training, and to know how to communicate with the patient and what materials will be needed when a patient who applies CIC is admitted to the hospital. Because although CIC training is given by professional nurses in urology and rehabilitation clinics, patients who apply CIC may be admitted to different clinics due to other health problems. In such cases, the nurse working in the clinic must have knowledge about CIC application. Although face-to-face education is widely used in the education of nursing students, mobile applications have become popular in recent years. There is no previous study in the literature on clean intermittent catheterization education with nursing students. The purpose of this study is to compare mobile-assisted education with face-to-face intermittent catheterization education in terms of knowledge and skill levels of nursing students.

Study groups in NCT06917027
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
control group (face to face education)OtherStudents in the face-to-face education group will receive theoretical training on intermittent catheterization. In addition, the CIC procedure steps will be explained with a demonstration technique. One week after the face-to-face education group is trained, the participants will perform intermittent catheterization in the laboratory and complete the final tests.
Receives: Other: education
experimental group (education with mobil application)ExperimentalOn the day the face-to-face education group is trained, the mobile application will be loaded onto the mobile education group phones. The videos in the mobile application will be introduced to the participants and made available for use. One week after the mobile application is loaded onto the mobile education group, the participants will perform intermittent catheterization in the laboratory and complete the final tests.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. "intermittent catheterization check-lists"

    Intermittent catheterization check-lists evaluates the clean intermittent catheterization procedure steps. The female checklist consists of 21 items, the male checklist consists of 23 items. Each correct answer is worth 1 point, and each wrong/incomplete answer is worth 0 points. The female checklist has a maximum of 21 points, and the male checklist has a maximum of 23 points.

    The checklists were filled out by the researchers 7 days after the training, based on the participants' implementation success.

    Measured: The checklists were filled out by the researchers 7 days after the training, based on the participants' implementation success.

  2. clean intermittent catheterization knowledge form

    The knowledge form aims to evaluate the participants' knowledge of clean intermittent catheterization. It consists of 17 questions. A minimum of 0 - a maximum of 17 points can be obtained.

    Measured: The knowledge form was filled out by the participants 7 days after the training.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing education in people with Neurogenic Bladder, run by Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

"intermittent catheterization check-lists" (time frame: The checklists were filled out by the researchers 7 days after the training, based on the participants' implementation success.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2025.
