Background and Objective: Intermittent catheterization in patients with neurogenic or dysfunctional bladder can be quite distressing. Implementing any intervention to decrease or prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) is highly significant. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of video-assisted clean intermittent catheterization training in children on urinary catheterization competency.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 199 medical students (interns and clinical clerks). Initially, a pretest was administered to the learners regarding standard catheterization principles, consisting of 5 key questions with a maximum score of 5, which covered essential points including preparation, procedure, and post-catheterization care. Then, a 6-minute educational video was shown to the learners, in which all the above-mentioned points were demonstrated by a skilled nurse in a clinical setting (examination bed) on a real patient (a child). Then, a post-test was administered to the learners after 29 days, and pre- and post-test scores were compared. Additionally, learner satisfaction was assessed using a satisfaction questionnaire comprising 7 questions based on a 5-point Likert scale (very low, low, moderate, high, very high).
Findings: The mean score increased from 0.89±0.49 in pretest to 2.90±1.15 in post-test (p<0.001). Approximately 78% of learners reported "high" and "very high" satisfaction with the use of video as a supplementary educational tool for learning clean intermittent catheterization skills and were thoroughly satisfied.
Conclusion: The study results demonstrated that the use of standard educational videos is a highly efficient and effective supplementary tool for improving skill levels and achieving satisfaction of medical learners in the learning cycle of specialized clean intermittent catheterization skills. |
