Method: multicenter, quantitative, cross-sectional, observational-analytic and correlational study executed in Brazil and Portugal. Two data collection tools were used, being one questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-bref. Patients were included who were over 18 years of age, suffering from neurogenic urinary bladder and using intermittent urinary catheterization. Results: in the sample of Brazilian (n = 170) and Portuguese (n = 52) patients, respectively, most patients were single (87-51.2%; 25-48.1%), had finished primary education (47-45.3%; 31-59.6%) and were retired (70-41.2%; 21-40.4%). Spinal cord injury was the main cause of using the urinary catheter in both countries. The Brazilian patients presented higher mean quality of life scores in the psychological domain (68.9) and lower scores in the physical domain (58.9). The Portuguese patients presented higher scores in the psychological domain (68.4) and lower scores in the environment domain (59.4). The execution of intermittent urinary self-catheterization was significant for both countries. Conclusions: in the two countries, these patients\u2019 quality of life can be determined by the improvement in the urinary symptoms, independence, self-confidence, social relationships and access to work activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1518-8345.1816.2906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,9]],"date-time":"2017-07-09T19:48:19Z","timestamp":1499629699000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Quality of life of patients using intermittent urinary catheterization"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"La\u00eds","family":"Fumincelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Mazzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Carlos Amado","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando Manuel Dias","family":"Henriques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonardo","family":"Orlandin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"766","DOI":"10.1590\/S1677-55382011000600013","article-title":"Determining the variables associated to clean intermittent selfcatheterization adherence rate one-year follow-up Study","volume":"37","author":"Girotti ME","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int Braz J Urol"},{"issue":"9","key":"ref2","first-page":"S22","article-title":"Clean intermittent self-catheterisation improving quality of life","volume":"22","author":"Woodward S","year":"2013","journal-title":"Br J Nurs"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Urologia Fundamental.
