Current research evidence is weak and design issues are significant. It has not yet been established whether incidence of UTI, other complications such as haematuria, or user satisfaction are affected by sterile or clean technique, coated or uncoated catheters, single or multiple-use catheters or by any other strategy. For people using IC, choice of catheter will depend on personal preference, cost, portability, and ease of use. Individuals should discuss the catheter options with their healthcare practitioner. Cost-effectiveness analysis and use of the standard definition of UTI are essential in any proposed clinical trial.

“…When comparing this reality with that of other countries, changes in these policies are observed, which seem to more intensely support the use of the urinary catheter. Studies can be observed that describe the use of more advanced technologies to accomplish the procedures and strongly discuss the patient’s autonomy 10 - 11 . Among the different studies, due to the nature of the material found about the theme, the use of urinary catheters in Portugal stands out 12 - 13 .…”

“…Nevertheless, in view of this whole picture, studies are lacking that discuss the problem of intermittent urinary catheterization users. The evidence produced is focused on specific groups, such as incontinent or spinal injury patients, which does not picture the global reality 2 - 3 , 7 , 9 , 11 . …”

“…These patients lack specific care and effective actions, which require periodical monitoring by the health team. Particularly the nurse enables professional support in the educative, management, clinical and rehabilitation spheres and in the implementation of care plans in line with the reality the patient experiences 7 , 9 , 11 .…”

Objectives:measure and compare the quality of life of neurogenic bladder patients using intermittent urinary catheterization who were going through rehabilitation in Brazil and Portugal. Method:multicenter, quantitative, cross-sectional, observational-analytic and correlational study executed in Brazil and Portugal. Two data collection tools were used, being one questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-bref. Patients were included who were over 18 years of age, suffering from neurogenic urinary bladder and using intermittent urinary catheterization. Results:in the sample of Brazilian (n = 170) and Portuguese (n = 52) patients, respectively, most patients were single (87-51.2%; 25-48.1%), had finished primary education (47-45.3%; 31-59.6%) and were retired (70-41.2%; 21-40.4%). Spinal cord injury was the main cause of using the urinary catheter in both countries. The Brazilian patients presented higher mean quality of life scores in the psychological domain (68.9) and lower scores in the physical domain (58.9). The Portuguese patients presented higher scores in the psychological domain (68.4) and lower scores in the environment domain (59.4). The execution of intermittent urinary self-catheterization was significant for both countries. Conclusions:in the two countries, these patients’ quality of life can be determined by the improvement in the urinary symptoms, independence, self-confidence, social relationships and access to work activities.

The authors attempt to achieve adequate statistical power for the study but, like many others, fall short, with a high dropout rate and enrollment challenges.…”
