Reducing the frequency of residual urine volume measurement would reduce workload | When measuring the residual urine volume by ultrasound, it would be laborious to have the recipient lie down again after having them sit down. | |
After micturition induction, I am not sure whether recipients should be asleep or awake when lying down for measurement of residual urine. | ||
Confirmation of therecipient’s micturition habits and request for assistance | Examination of implementation of nighttime micturition induction | Micturition induction depends on the person, but since it is carried out not only during the day but also at night, I wonder how different is the implementation at night. |
Confirmation of request for same-sex assistance | It is necessary to confirm the recipient’s gender and request for same-sex assistance. | |
Understanding past excretory habits | Previous excretory habits and gender (especially men’s posture during excretion) may affect the ease of micturition. | |
If a portable toilet had been used before admission, use a portable toilet instead of a toilet. | ||
Conducting necessary examination for setting the intervention period and evaluation period according to the status of the recipient | The intervention period can be kept short or the evaluation period can be set flexibly (depending on the status of the recipient) | I feel that the intervention period of about 5 to 6 weeks is long, so I think a shorter period could be used in practice. |
In order to implement the program in a busy long-term care site, we need to be flexible in order to monitor and perform evaluation once the results begin to show. | ||
Monitoring can be done on the second week, and once effect appears, we can move on to evaluation. |
