Older people\u2019s views and experiences of the complexity of living with a long\u2010term catheter have not been widely researched. An enhanced understanding of catheter users\u2019 perspectives and an awareness of their needs can be used to improve care.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method.\u2002<\/jats:bold> A grounded theory approach was adopted and 20 in\u2010depth interviews were carried out in England in 2005 and 2006 with 13 older people living at home with long\u2010term urinary catheters.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Findings.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The core category \u2018all about acceptance\u2019 described older people\u2019s adjustment to living with a long\u2010term urinary catheter; the two categories \u2018at ease\u2019 and \u2018uneasy\u2019 reflect the extremes of contentment experienced. Three interlinking categories of \u2018trying to understand\u2019, \u2018judging catheter performance\u2019 and \u2018being aware of the catheter\u2019 shaped older people\u2019s relationships with their catheters and this was mediated by their \u2018interaction with others\u2019. The consequences for older people fluctuated along a continuum from \u2018engaging actively\u2019 to experiencing \u2018downbeat sentiments\u2019.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.\u2002<\/jats:bold> To assist older people to adjust to living with a catheter, healthcare professionals must be sensitive to their life situations and individual needs rather than focusing predominantly on catheter performance and complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2007.04584.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,3]],"date-time":"2008-04-03T19:27:28Z","timestamp":1207250848000},"page":"180-190","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Living
