Brief summary: Rationale: Healthcare professionals regularly perform transurethral catheterization. They may have not sufficient knowledge, experience, and self-confidence about urethral catheterization. This can cause an increased risk of urethral catheterization-related injury and morbidity. With an appropriate training program, we can raise the knowledge and self-confidence of healthcare professionals in performing transurethral catheterization.

Primary Objective: To compare knowledge and self-confidence amongst healthcare workers in performing urethral catheterization before and after the proposed urethral catheterization training program.

Secondary Objective: To compare the traumatic catheterization rates before and after the proposed urethral catheterization training program.

Study design: This study is a prospective multi-center trial using a questionnaire for assessing the healthcare professionals about urethral catheterization knowledge and self-confidence before and after a urethral catheterization training program, where their evaluation is scheduled 6 months after the training.

Study population: The study population comprises medical health workers (nurses, paramedics and doctors) from 5 different Medipol Hospitals working at surgical and non-surgical departments.

Intervention: An in-person urethral catheterization training program that utilizes training videos (demonstrating procedures, providing examples of ordinary and difficult cases, utilizing animation techniques as well) Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint is the change in self-reported self-confidence and knowledge in urethral catheterization following the training. The secondary endpoint is the change in complicated/traumatic urethral catheterization following the training. A complicated/traumatic catheterization is defined as a urethral catheterization requiring the intervention of a urologist.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria: Healthcare workers (paramedics, nurses, and doctors) working in the emergency department, intensive care, operating rooms, departments of gynecology, general surgery, urology, orthopedics, neurology, internal medicine, cardiology, and anesthesiology -

Exclusion Criteria: Healthcare workers that not working non-clinic services,
