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.
