Study on Choosing Coloplast Catheters for Adults Using Self-Catheterization to Improve Satisfaction

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying how adults with bladder problems who need to empty their bladder using catheters decide which Coloplast catheter best suits them. The study focuses on two types of catheters, SpeediCath and Luja, aiming to understand which catheter leads to the highest patient satisfaction over six months. It also explores the reasons behind initial catheter choice, satisfaction levels during use, and any challenges faced. The study includes adults with neurogenic or non-neurogenic bladder dysfunctions, such as those caused by spinal cord injuries or multiple sclerosis, who have been trained in intermittent self-catheterisation ISC. Participants will use either SpeediCath or Luja catheters, which differ in design and technology to improve ease of use and reduce complications. The study involves three visits at the start to choose a catheter and record reasons for this choice between 3 and 12 weeks to assess the catheters impact and at six months to evaluate final satisfaction and any difficulties. If participants change their catheter type or brand during the study, this will be documented, and they will continue in the study. Questionnaires on catheter use, satisfaction, and difficulties will be used to collect data. Participants will attend three study visits over six months, completing questionnaires about catheter choice, satisfaction, and challenges experienced during ISC. Researchers will collect information on socio-demographics, clinical factors, catheter use frequency, and training details. The main outcome is patient satisfaction with the chosen catheter at six months, along with adherence to ISC protocols and difficulties encountered. This information aims to help healthcare providers improve catheter recommendations and support for patients using self-catheterisation.
