Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State ScoresBaseline, after viewing educational video, after learning self-cathterization, 6 weeks post-operatively

The STAI-S scale is a 20-item, Likert-type, validated measure, scored 20-80 with higher scores reflecting higher situational anxiety. STAI-S is designed to specifically assess current anxiety as opposed to baseline trait anxiety. Respondents rated their current feelings specific to bladder catheterization by answering items regarding bladder catheterization such as, "I feel at ease" or "I feel upset." Responses ranged from 1 to 5 from "not at all" to "very much so."

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Satisfaction Scores - Visual Analogue Scores (VAS).Baseline, post-operatively at time of discharge from hospital, 6 weeks post-operatively

Secondary study measures included a study-specific visual analog scales (VAS, range 0-100 mm) to assess comfort with Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization (CISC) and opinions on the CISC video.

Higher VAS scores represent higher levels of comfort with CISC.
