Assesses urinary catheter perceptions in older surgical patients, suggesting function-based management implications.
This study incorporates older patients' perspectives by assessing their perceptions and knowledge of catheterization. The findings advocate for a transition toward function-based management, where catheter alternatives are tailored to individual ADL status. By aligning clinical practice with patients' functional needs and informed preferences, healthcare providers can empower patients and reduce the risk of iatrogenic harm.
