Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Neurogenic bladder is a condition that occurs due to nerve damage or congenital problems and causes urination disorders. Nowadays, in individuals diagnosed with neurogenic bladder, Clean Intermittent Catheterization is often used to evacuate the urine accumulated in the bladder. Clean Intermittent Catheterization(CIC) is a simple, safe and effective method in which the catheter is placed through the meatus. In this application, the catheter is removed without waiting after urine drainage is achieved. This process is usually performed on its own. Since IC(Intermittent Catheterization) is a procedure performed on the bladder, it may cause some complications. IC application must be performed successfully to prevent or reduce complications. The success of the technique largely depends on patient education and follow-up. Sometimes patients may not be able to come to the hospital for follow-up and feedback after IC training.

Innovations are needed to ensure the continuation of distance education so that the education of patients who cannot come to the hospital is not incomplete. The literature includes brochures, videos, websites and some mobile applications for IC training. However, no application has been found that monitors patients' urine amounts.

This research was planned to examine the effect of clean intermittent catheterization training given via mobile application to individuals with spinal cord injury on their quality of life and compliance.

scales:

1. Information form: Authors will ask to patients age, weight, height, gender, marital status, education level, diagnosis, time of injury, cause of injury, independence level, working or not working, presence of spasticity
2. WHOQOL-BREF(World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale):The WHO Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL) is a generic quality of life instrument that was designed to be applicable to people living under different circumstances, conditions, and cultures. The short version known as WHOQOL-BREF with 27 itemsin Turkish version. It is based on a Likert-type scale and is scored from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.
3. Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire (ISC-Q): This is a 24-item self-administered questionnaire. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree), and after the conversion of the 14 reverse-coded items to give a common range of 0-100, the scores are calculated by multiplying the mean value of all items within each domain by 25. The total ISC-Q score is then calculated from the simple average from across the four domains (0-100), with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life.
4. Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS): ICAS (IntermittentCatheterization Adherence Scale) is used to assess long-term patient adherence to prescribed ISC treatment. Binary answers were used for the first seven questions:yes = 1, no = 0, whereas the response options for the eighth question were graded on a 5-point Likert-type scale: 0 indicating "never," 0.25 "sometimes," 0.5 "often,"0.75 "regularly," and 1 "always," leading to a maximum possible score of 8. A patient's score is empirically classified into three intervals: strong adherence = 0; average adherence = 1-2; low adherence = 3-8.
5. Mobile Application Usability Scale (MAUS): The scale measures mobile application usability which is formed with 10 constructs/factors which includes four items each (40 items at total). The scale measures using a 7-point Likert-type scale (1=strongly disagree…7=strongly agree)

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

control group(routine CIC education)

This group has routine CIC education. They fill the scales before discharge and 12. week after discharge.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

experimental group(routine CIC education+mobile application on telephone)

This group has routine CIC education. Also mobile application uploaded their telephone before discharge.

They fill the scales before discharge and 12. week after discharge.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

mobile application on telephone

Intervention Type DEVICE

when patient discharge from the hospital, mobile application downloaded their telephone. then researcher give feedback about patients CIC outputs.

also mobile application include 2 animations, videos, "frequently asked questions" and "ask the expert" section.
