Abstract
The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society estimates that there are over 130 000 people with MS in the UK, with 7000 people newly diagnosed each year. Bladder dysfunction occurs in approximately 80% of people with MS, and clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) is recommended as the gold standard for treatment. However, when teaching CISC, the nurse needs to be aware that the nature of MS is multi-faceted, and patients experience complex issues affecting their ability to perform and master the technique of CISC. This article presents a case study of a person newly diagnosed with MS and the approach to CISC.
