Scientific titleA prospective exploration of the experiences and factors affecting the continuity of use of intermittent self-catheterisation in people with multiple sclerosis
Study acronymISiMS
Study objectivesPeople with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be advised to undertake intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) to help manage their bladder. However, research shows that although the use of ISC is supported both by clinicians and MS population in general, many do not find it acceptable and discontinue use after a while. Research indicates that there are gaps within current knowledge relating to the experiences of and the factors affecting ISC within this population. Therefore, in order to better understand the factors that impact ISC use and continuation, the Multiple Sclerosis Society has funded a study in which we will recruit 250 people with MS who are learning to use ISC and follow them for 12 months to investigate how patients experience ISC and the issues which impact its use.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMultiple sclerosis
InterventionData will be collected at four different points: baseline, 4, 8 and 12 months and in three ways:
1. Assessment log, recording (among other things) patient demographics, medical history, bladder symptoms, socio-economic status
2. Telephone-based questionnaires measuring quality of life including clinical data collection booklet - to be completed by the clinician
3. In addition to clinical data, semi-structured qualitative interviews will be conducted with a purposively selected sample of 12 - 20 patients at 4 and 12 months. These will enable us to have an in-depth understanding of the issues, dynamics and impact of ISC including the factors which lead to its discontinuation.
