Brief Summary

Today, Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) is widely used to drain urine accumulated in the bladder in acute or chronic problems such as neurogenic bladder and prostate hypertrophy.The success of the technique depends largely on patient education and follow-up.Nurses play a fundamental role in providing theoretical and practical learning in CIC training and early detection of complications. Although face-to-face education is widely used in the education of nursing students, mobile applications have become popular in recent years. There is no previous study in the literature on clean intermittent catheterization education with nursing students. The purpose of this study is to compare mobile-assisted education with face-to-face intermittent catheterization education in terms of knowledge and skill levels of nursing students.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• "intermittent catheterization check-lists"

  Intermittent catheterization check-lists evaluates the clean intermittent catheterization procedure steps. The female checklist consists of 21 items, the male checklist consists of 23 items. Each correct answer is worth 1 point, and each wrong/incomplete answer is worth 0 points. The female checklist has a maximum of 21 points, and the male checklist has a maximum of 23 points. The checklists were filled out by the researchers 7 days after the training, based on the participants' implementation success.

  The checklists were filled out by the researchers 7 days after the training, based on the participants' implementation success.

• clean intermittent catheterization knowledge form

  The knowledge form aims to evaluate the participants' knowledge of clean intermittent catheterization. It consists of 17 questions. A minimum of 0 - a maximum of 17 points can be obtained.

  The knowledge form was filled out by the participants 7 days after the training.

Study Arms (2)

control group (face to face education)

OTHER

Students in the face-to-face education group will receive theoretical training on intermittent catheterization. In addition, the CIC procedure steps will be explained with a demonstration technique. One week after the face-to-face education group is trained, the participants will perform intermittent catheterization in the laboratory and complete the final tests.

Other: education

experimental group (education with mobil application)

EXPERIMENTAL

On the day the face-to-face education group is trained, the mobile application will be loaded onto the mobile education group phones. The videos in the mobile application will be introduced to the participants and made available for use. One week after the mobile application is loaded onto the mobile education group, the participants will perform intermittent catheterization in the laboratory and complete the final tests.
