Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common healthcare-associated infection, accounting for 36% of all healthcare-associated infections.
Approximately 75% of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections are associated with urinary catheters. A catheter-associated urinary tract infection is defined as a urinary tract infection that occurs when a urinary catheter has been in place for at least two days. Patients discharged with a urinary catheter; They may encounter various problems, including urinary tract infections, bag emptying, catheter changes, clothing adjustments, (hand) hygiene, odor, and catheter kinking. They may also experience physical and psychosocial difficulties related to catheter care. These problems also bring with them the risk of urinary catheter-related complications. Today, nursing practice prioritizes supporting individuals and families in their own self-care by providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills, rather than assuming full responsibility for their care.
Guidelines for preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections recommend involving patients and their families in their care to prevent these infections.Therefore, nurses, in their role as educators, should provide training to ensure patients maintain their daily activities with their catheters, particularly regarding catheter care.
In this direction, this study will attempt to reveal the effects of post-urological surgery education on patients' attitudes and anxiety levels towards preventing catheter-related urinary tract infections.
This research will be conducted in a prospective, randomized experimental design with pretest-posttest experimental and control groups. The sample size of the study will consist of urology patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study.The patients to be included in the sample of the study will be randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. The study sample size was calculated using data from a similar study in the literature using the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program for an independent samples t-test, with a test power (power) of 0.80, a confidence level of 95% (1-α), and an effect size of f=0.64, for a total of 62 patients (31 in the experimental group and 31 in the control group), with a minimum of 31 patients in each group.
However, considering data loss, the plan is to include at least 70 patients (35 in the experimental group and 35 in the control group).
Data will be collected using the "Individual Characteristics Form," the "State and Trait Anxiety Inventory," and the "Attitude Scale for Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in Patients with Indwelling Urinary Catheters." The "Patient Education Material Evaluation Tool (HEMDA)" will be used to evaluate the educational materials and will be submitted to an expert for review. R ver. 2.15.3 program (R Core Team, 2013) will be used for statistical analysis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental: Intervention Group: Urinary catheter care training
Urology patients in this group will receive urinary catheter care training based on Roper, Logan, Tierney Model of Nursing (based on Activities of Living).
Education on Urinary Catheter Care
Urinary catheter care training based on the Roper, Logan, and Tierney Lifestyle Model was developed based on daily living activities.
A training booklet was created based on 11 daily living activities (providing and maintaining a safe environment, communication, breathing, nutrition, etc.).
To increase the effectiveness of the training, a booklet based on this model will be prepared and used as a guide in the training program.
No Intervention: Control Group: Standard discharge training
Urology patients in this group will not receive any training other than the discharge training routinely applied in the clinic.
No interventions assigned to this group
