Purpose: This study was a predicative survey to provide home care clients with indwelling urinary catheters for furnishing basic educational material to their families by analyzing the family members’’ knowledge, educational needs and educational experience about indwelling catheter management.
Method : The subjects consisted of 108 family members who cared for home care clients with indwelling catheters. Data were collected by home care nurses in nine hospitals in Pusan, who directly interviewed with them through questionnaires from Sep. 6th to 30th in 2004. The questionnaires for data collection were developed through pre-survey and reference review. The collected data was analyzed by using frequency, percentile, mean, variation, t-test, ANOVA on SPSS 10.1 package.
Results : There were characters of home care clients with indwelling catheters: women(67.6%) were more than men; the average age of them was 69.60{±}14.99 years old; neurogenic and cerebrovascular diseases(80.0%) were the most common disease group; 81.5% of them were totally dependent on others in terms of level of activity. Home care clients’’ families had these characters: women(76.9%) were more than men; the average age was 54.5{±}13.70 years old; 46.3% of them were parents or sons or daughters in terms of relation with patient; tl1e average care period was 39.8{±}34.20 months. Level of knowledge about indwelling catheter management of the family members were 69.8% and its mean were 20.24{±}4.53. Educational needs were 90.9% and its mean were 14.55{±}3.56. Educational experience were 53.3% and its mean were 8.53{±}4.30. ’’Complications in using an indwelling catheter’’, ’’Symptoms to call for a home care nurse’’ and ’’Method to attach an indwelling catheter’’ were high ranked in both educational needs and educational experience. ’’Anatomy of urinary tract’’, ’’Functions of urinary tract’’ and ’’Catheter placement’’ were low ranked in both educational needs and educational experience Level of knowledge about indwelling catheter management of the families showed a significant difference according to their age(F=5.35, p=0.01). Educational needs showed a significant difference according to care period(F=3.06, p=0.04).
Conclusion: the family members’’ level of knowledge and educational experience about indwelling catheter management and their educational were not sufficient while their educational needs were high. In other words although the family members were acknowledged education needs, but the care for the patients with indwelling catheter weren’’t performed well because of their lack of related knowledge. Therefore systematic educational programs about indwelling catheter management for home care clients and their families should be made on the base of this study.
