Summary
PARCHED (Prompting And encouRaging Community Hydration through EDucation) is studying how to improve the hydration (fluid intake) of people living at home who use catheters. The investigator would like to see if improved hydration (fluid intake) reduces the risk of frailty. PARCHED will randomise four areas in Cwm Taf University Health Board to receive one of four different interventions. Individuals will receive an intervention based on which area they live in, each participant will take part in the study for 12 weeks.
Detailed description
PARCHED is a cluster feasibility randomized control trial (RCT) exploring the potential of an innovative prompting cup and education as person-centred and holistic tools to empower nursing leadership to reduce frailty in a catheterised community-dwelling population. This project will investigate interventions to improve hydration as potentially economically viable solutions to reducing frailty in a vulnerable population. Interventions have been developed using behaviour change theory and techniques. 80 participants will be recruited and will receive one of three interventions or usual care for a period of 12 weeks, data will be collected at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and routine hospital records will be collected or accessed as part of the study.
