Having a urinary catheter is known to negatively impact the users quality of life and mortality due to their long-term health being diminished by unresolved catheter problems that often result in repeated hospital admissions.
It is estimated 34,500 people in the UK Care Homes have urinary catheters, with many Care Home organisations reporting an increase in staff workload and poor resident outcomes owing to a lack of knowledge and education surrounding evidence based catheter management and problem solving.
At catheter-in-situ, training will focus on making learning fun and enjoyable. By participating in group work within the ‘classroom’ staff can share experiences and explore new ideas and gain new knowledge and skills that promote a supportive work environment and high quality care.
Utilising the Care Home as a classroom through peer support, mentoring and clinical supervision is also available as an education tool for Nursing Homes wishing to adopt a Link Tutor approach and not a dependancy model for training.
Recent research suggests that carers disliked e-learning as an educational tool. The ‘classroom’ promotes critical thinking by participating in group work. Encourages collaborative working and improves staff motivation and teamwork.
