About the CPD course
This is a summary of the scientific publication: The impact of clean intermittent catheterization on students and families in the school environment by Bauer et al. The study examines what adolescents; young adults and their caregivers experienced when IC was required during the school day; and how well the schools adjusted to their needs; e.g.; by enabling privacy; adequate hygiene; and appropriate access to bathroom facilities. Data was obtained by in-depth interviews which were comprehensive; involving multiple aspects relating to IC. The results revealed a lot of challenges that students in need of IC may experience and have to cope with in school. By encouraging an open dialogue and increasing the level of knowledge and education; the experience for students in need of IC; regardless of age or disability; will be improved.
