Objective:

To evaluate the knowledge, experience, and self-confidence of healthcare professionals in performing transurethral catheterization (TUC) and to investigate their resolution strategies for complicated catheterizations.

Key Findings:
  • Knowledge and confidence in TUC were higher among those with more years of experience, indicating a need for targeted training.
  • Healthcare professionals in surgical specialties demonstrated greater understanding and confidence in TUC.
  • No significant differences in knowledge and confidence were found based on gender or medical profession.
Interpretation:

The study highlights a need for structured training protocols to enhance the knowledge and self-confidence of healthcare professionals in performing TUCs, particularly given the potential complications associated with the procedure.

Limitations:
  • The study relied on self-reported data, which may introduce bias and affect the reliability of the findings.
  • The findings are based on a specific population from five university hospitals, limiting generalizability.
Conclusion:

Improving training and education for healthcare professionals on TUC is essential to reduce complications and enhance patient care.
