Sponsor's own description
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of using an innovative urinary catheter carrying bag on the psychosocial well-being of patients who require long-term catheterization. The bag was designed to increase comfort, hygiene, and privacy by concealing the urine bag and minimizing potential embarrassment during daily activities. A total of 70 patients who had been using an indwelling urinary catheter for at least three weeks were randomly assigned to either an intervention or a control group. The intervention group received a specially designed catheter carrying bag along with training on how to use it, while the control group received standard care without the carrying bag. All participants were monitored over a 21-day period. Validated assessment tools were used to measure patient satisfaction, body image, self-esteem, and feelings of external shame at baseline and after the intervention period. The study was designed to explore whether the use of the catheter carrying bag could influence these psychosocial outcomes in individuals undergoing long-term catheterization. This randomized controlled trial was conducted to inform future supportive care practices and explore non-pharmacological interventions that address both the physical and psychosocial needs of patients with indwelling urinary catheters.
