“…It is a challenge for all Tanzanian educators to keep up to date; some live in remote areas where up to date textbooks, seminars and internet access are not readily available. Creative solutions to meet their information needs are required (Ajuwon and Rhine, ; Kanyengo, ; Murphy, ; Chanda and Shaw, ; Ford and Korjonen, ). There is a need for resources to install or improve electricity supplies and Internet systems in many educational institutions educating health workers.…”

Tanzanian institutions that educate Tanzanian health professionals have limited teaching/learning resources, including dated donated material. There have been significant changes in the recommended management of indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) over recent decades. This study aimed to investigate the suitability of teaching materials in one Tanzanian institution on indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) management, compared with the NICE guidelines (National Clinical Guidance Centre, 2012), and to identify additional material required to complement these guidelines. A documentary review was carried out on 14 texts using 48 sub-themes of importance in the management of IUCs. Suggestions for context-specific additions to the NICE guidelines were identified by the author from experience, and confirmed by two nurse educators currently practising in Tanzania. Almost all the texts available were inappropriate as far as teaching material for IUC is concerned. Suggested material to complement the NICE guidelines includes details of IUC insertion procedure and material that reflects the Tanzanian context. Teachers of clinical practitioners in resource poor settings can prepare suitable materials if they analyse selected up to date on-line material, and adapt it to their context. Financial support can be best utilized in improving on-line facilities supplemented by carefully chosen new hard copy material.
