Activities of Daily Living Level is Associated With Recovery of Catheter‐Free Urination Among Patients Hospitalized in an Acute Care Hospital

Key Points

• To explore the relationship between activities of daily living (ADL) and the recovery of catheter-free urination in hospitalized patients.
• Utilized the modified Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) to assess ADL levels.
• Examined patient records from an acute care hospital setting to identify rates of catheter-free urination.
• Higher mFIM scores correlate with increased rates of successful catheter-free urination.
• Findings indicate that improved ADL may facilitate recovery outcomes for hospitalized patients.
