Residual Urine at 1st Flow-stop During Nurse Catheterization
The residual urine at 1st flow-stop during nurse catheterization (i.e., catheterization performed by the nurse) represents the volume of urine left in the bladder, the first time the urine stops running out of the catheter during bladder emptying/urination. This was assessed using a pressure sensor with time-logged weighing, meaning that a flow-stop was registered measuring the hydrostatic pressure at the outlet of an intermittent urinary catheter. Simultaneously, the collected urine was weighed and converted to volume, and the residual volume at first flow stop was calculated as the difference between the total urine volume collected and the volume collected at the first flow-stop.
Residual Urine at 1st Flow-stop During Self-catheterization
The residual urine at 1st flow-stop during nurse catheterization (i.e., catheterization performed by the participant) represents the volume of urine left in the bladder, the first time the urine stops running out of the catheter during bladder emptying/urination. This was assessed using a pressure sensor with time-logged weighing, meaning that a flow-stop was registered measuring the hydrostatic pressure at the outlet of an intermittent urinary catheter. Simultaneously, the collected urine was weighed and converted to volume, and the residual volume at first flow stop was calculated as the difference between the total urine volume collected and the volume collected at the first flow-stop.
Post-void Residual Urine After Nurse Catheterization
The volume of residual urine (urine left in the bladder) post catheterization (performed by the nurse) measured in triplicates using an ultrasound scanner.
Post-void Residual Urine After Self-catheterization
The volume of residual urine (urine left in the bladder) post catheterization (performed by the participant) measured in triplicates using an ultrasound scanner.
Insertion Discomfort During Nurse Catheterization
Discomfort measured at catheter insertion (performed by nurse), using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a tool used to rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, e.g. discomfort/pain. It is a straight line of 10 cm (in this case horizontal) with one end meaning no discomfort/pain (0 cm) and the other end meaning the worst discomfort/pain imaginable (10 cm). The subject visualizes and marks a point on the line that matches the amount of discomfort/pain experienced. A high score reflects a worse outcome than a lower score.
Urination Discomfort During Nurse Catheterization
Discomfort measured during catheter urination/emptying (performed by nurse), using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a tool used to rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, e.g. discomfort/pain. It is a straight line of 10 cm (in this case horizontal) with one end meaning no discomfort/pain (0 cm) and the other end meaning the worst discomfort/pain imaginable (10 cm). The subject visualizes and marks a point on the line that matches the amount of discomfort/pain experienced. A high score reflects a worse outcome than a lower score.
Withdrawal Discomfort During Nurse Catheterization
Discomfort measured during catheter withdrawal (performed by nurse), using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a tool used to rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, e.g. discomfort/pain. It is a straight line of 10 cm (in this case horizontal) with one end meaning no discomfort/pain (0 cm) and the other end meaning the worst discomfort/pain imaginable (10 cm). The subject visualizes and marks a point on the line that matches the amount of discomfort/pain experienced. A high score reflects a worse outcome than a lower score.
Overall Discomfort During Nurse Catheterization
Discomfort measured for the entire catheterization procedure (performed by nurse), using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a tool used to rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, e.g. discomfort/pain. It is a straight line of 10 cm (in this case horizontal) with one end meaning no discomfort/pain (0 cm) and the other end meaning the worst discomfort/pain imaginable (10 cm). The subject visualizes and marks a point on the line that matches the amount of discomfort/pain experienced. A high score reflects a worse outcome than a lower score.
Insertion Discomfort During Self-catheterization
