Brief Summary

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

In female patients, the dorsal recumbent position is required to visualize the urethral meatus. In female patients, direct visualization of the urethral meatus after providing a suitable position is very important for successful catheter advancement while maintaining sterile conditions. Especially in unconscious or uncooperative female patients, it is much more difficult to maintain and maintain an appropriate position, and more than one staff may be needed for this. Although it is clear that it is important and difficult to position female patients during catheterization and maintain it throughout the procedure, no device used to assist positioning has been encountered. Therefore, in this project; The aim of this study is to provide a comfortable and safe position for the patient in urinary catheterization in female patients, to develop an auxiliary device to maintain this position throughout the procedure, and to evaluate the effectiveness of this device.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Urinary elimination is one of the most fundamental physiological needs, and when it cannot be met by the individual for any reason, urinary catheterisation is required to drain urine accumulated in the bladder. Urinary catheterisation consists of a series of sequential steps. The first step is positioning the patient. In female patients, the dorsal recumbent position is required to visualise the urethral meatus. Once an appropriate position has been achieved in female patients, direct visualisation of the urethral meatus is crucial for the successful advancement of the catheter under sterile conditions. Providing and maintaining an appropriate position is particularly difficult in unconscious or uncooperative female patients, and may require multiple personnel. Although it is clear that positioning female patients during catheterisation and maintaining this position throughout the procedure is important and difficult, no devices have been found to assist with positioning. Therefore, this project aims to develop an assistive device to provide female patients with a comfortable and safe position during urinary catheterisation and to maintain this position throughout the procedure, and to evaluate the effectiveness of this device. To this end, a new positioning cushion will be developed, and a preclinical validation study will be conducted using a mixed-methods research design that includes a randomised controlled trial and a descriptive qualitative study.
