Since its inception >50 years ago, clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) has become ubiquitous in managing lower urinary tract dysfunction in children. Emphasis has been on its impact on daily life, but little on its implementation and adjustment in families. The aim of the current study was to discover how families learned to implement and manage their child's CIC needs by interviewing caregivers, adolescents, and young adults about their experiences. Interviews were designed to uncover facilitators and barriers to beginning CIC to initiate potential improvements in a multidisciplinary approach.
