Abstract

The CATHETER II trial is expected to determine if and which policy for prophylactic catheter washout on a weekly basis improves the outcome of care for people living with a long-term catheter. By exploring the views and experiences of both the trial participants and health care professionals in relation to the trial delivery and outcomes, the CATHETER II qualitative study can provide context to the trial findings, clarify the fidelity of the intervention, and inform translation of the intervention into routine policy and practice.
