Abstract

Background: Accidental dislodgement of tubes/catheters from patients’ bodies is frequent in healthcare; making it a crucial patient safety management issue. Additionally, the number of pati-ents needing catheter management at home has increased with the rise in aging patients. Pain or stre-ss from directly inserting a tube/catheter into the body causes accidental dislodgement. However, quantitative measurements have not yet been devel-oped to evaluate patients’ stress resulting from dislodgement fear.
