Abstract

Abstract:

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge and practice skills on home-based urinary catheter care among parents of under-five children with urinary catheter.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1, 2021, to September 11, 2021, in a tertiary hospital in north India. Purposive sampling was used to select 50 participants. Three instruments were employed for data collection after fulfilling sample criteria; for baseline information demographic tool, knowledge questionnaires, and a practice checklist. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: On assessment of 50 participants, the majority of parents aged above 30 years (74%). Most of the participants were male (82%), graduated (38%), and working in the private sector (58%). Similarly, two-thirds of participants were residing in a nuclear family (64%) with a single child 32 (64%) and family income <5000 rupees per month (60%). The mean score of knowledge was 1.94 ± 0.81 and that of practice skills was 1.98 ± 0.85 on home-based care. Regression analysis showed that knowledge of parents was significantly associated with qualification (β: 1.821, P = 0.002). Similarly, association of practice skills of parents with gender (β: 1.235, P = 0.050) and qualification (β: 1.889, P = 0.00) was significant.

Conclusion: The general findings of our study showed that parents’ education and occupation played a significant role in a child’s care. Parental education and catheter care skills positively affect the child and reduce readmission rates.
