NCT ID NCT07172750
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether teaching patients about catheter care can improve their attitudes toward preventing infections and lower their anxiety after urologic surgery. About 70 male patients who go home with a urinary catheter will receive a training booklet based on daily living activities. Researchers will measure changes in infection-prevention attitudes and anxiety levels.
