| Abstract |
A pilot study to determine the effectiveness of the assessment tool as a data collection device was crucial to the effectiveness of the major study. The pilot sample consisted of 10 patients who participated in the assessment phase of the Nursing process. Patients complied with therapeutic objectives to control urinary incontinence when they participated in the assessment phase and when 24 hour Nursing support is available. The removal of this support ( within the Hospital environment) may be integral to long term compliance |

| Abstract |
An apparent increase in exit- site infections of intra peritoneal catheters during the initial post Op. period has been observed. The aim of the study was to ascertain a more appropriate method of exit site care and thus minimise infection. A total of 21 patients voluntarily participated in two randomly divided groups. Group 1. did not experience exit site infection during 1-7. This dressing method was particularly successful with high risk patients |
