eLearning — Intermittent Catheterization
Hollister Education Continence Care has developed an eLearning module on intermittent catheterization to offer healthcare professionals the opportunity to learn more about intermittent catheterization, a form of bladder management.
The eLearning module aims to help the health care professionals understanding on what intermittent catheterization entails, why it is recommended and what is needed to assess, train and support patients in performing intermittent catheterization and integrate intermittent catheterization into their lives.
References can be found in the lessons.
There are 3 lessons in total, with an assessment at the conclusion of lesson 1 and 2.
Lesson 1: Anatomy and Physiology
Along with an Addendum on intermittent self-dilatation.
This lesson focuses on anatomy and physiology of the lower urinary tract, basics on the normal urination process and health changes that can lead to dysfunction.
The addendum at the end of this lesson contains supplemental information on intermittent self-dilatation, which is intermittent self-catheterization with the purpose of dilating the urethra.
The lesson concludes with a test of 10 questions.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Recognise the main structural components of the lower urinary tract and associated functions
- Provide a basic description of the physiology of normal voiding
- Understand common problems, and dysfunctions
Lesson 2: Intermittent Catheterization Practices
This module focuses on intermittent catheterization practices.
The intermittent catheterization procedure, anatomical and functional indications for intermittent catheterization, advantages and disadvantages compared to indwelling catheterization, potential complications, contra-indications.
Basics on frequency, Quality of Life, patient assessment and theoretical and practical training, various catheter materials and features.
The lesson concludes with a test of 10 questions.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Describe indications for intermittent catheterization.
- Identify the needs of a person requiring intermittent catheterization.
- Have an overview of the technique for performing intermittent self-catheterization- males, females, and children.
- Understand differences in catheter materials, coatings and tips.
- Differentiate between the different intermittent catheter features and benefits.
Lesson 3: Teaching Intermittent Catheterization - two scenario’s
This module consists of a female and male fictitious scenario on teaching intermittent catheterization with needs and capabilities of an individual. It is a storyline where choices are offered in a realistically represented process. Providing an opportunity to focus on how the obtained learning can be transferred into a teaching procedure, promoting best practice.
