Abstract:

The long-term bladder catheter may be indicated in clinical situations, such as chronic diseases of the genitourinary or neurological system. In addition to the risks of infection, trauma, and bleeding, the permanence of the catheter can affect psycho-emotional and socioeconomic dimensions. We aimed to understand how the need to use a urinary catheter for the long term affects this patient\'s self-perception, interrelationships, and self-care. We carried out a qualitative, descriptive study, based on interviews with 17 patients, and applied thematic analysis and complex thinking. The different prognoses and expectations regarding the catheter influenced self-perception, adaptation, acceptance, or denial. The presence of the catheter, whether as a curative measure or for comfort, can affect self-image and sexuality, and generate insecurities and uncertainties, which require understanding the multidimensionality of situations, that suffer interferencethe personal, family, and social environment, as well as the capacity of health systems to deal with it. Despite the challenges, the majority of participants reported a favorable disposition towards self-care, whether to enable catheter removal or to prevent injuries in lifelong indications.
