“…This means that educating nurses about the indications for catheterization will be very helpful in reducing the incidence of CAUTI because they can serve as a reminder to doctors after the indication for catheterization is complete. This is in line with research showing that nurses' enthusiasm for the need to have an in situ catheter helps reduce the occurrence of CAUTI (Ghauri et al, 2019).…”

Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah random sampling. Kriteria inklusi adalah: masa kerja perawat 1 tahun, pendidikan minimal D3. Kriteria eksklusi adalah responden yang tidak mengisi kuesioner dengan lengkap. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah IPCN, IPCLN, spesialis penyakit dalam, koordinator perawat ruang gawat darurat, dan perawat di ruang rawat inap. Tingkat pemasangan kateter urin tinggi (29,51%), sedang (63,93%), rendah (6,6%). Pada pengetahuan yang lebih dalam tentang penyisipan kateter, yang diinformasikan dengan baik. Sikap pemasangan kateter urin baik (73,8%) dan buruk (26,2%). Pada sikap yang lebih dalam untuk penyisipan kateter, skornya bagus. Perawat memiliki tingkat pengetahuan sedang, memiliki sikap yang baik tentang pemasangan kateter urin. Risiko yang paling potensial telah diidentifikasi. Setiap potensi memiliki risiko yang dapat dimanfaatkan masing-masing dan saling berkaitan. Yang terbaik adalah mempertimbangkan strategi yang relevan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut.This open access article is under the CC-BY-SA license.

“…However, in the current study, there was a statistically significant association between professional work experience and nurses' level of knowledge (at P-value = 0.031). This finding is in line with the study conducted in Pakistan [27]. The possible justification for the similarity might be due to the fact that work experience increases nurses' level of knowledge towards prevention of CAUTIs.…”

Knowledge, practice and associated factors of nurses towards prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in intensive care unit of public hospitals administered by Federal Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional institutional-based study

et al. 2022

Background Urinary catheterization is one of the most common procedures performed in hospitals specifically, in the intensive care units and is associated with a high risk for acquired urinary tract infections. More than 70% of acquired urinary tract infections are due to catheter use. Nurses are the primary healthcare providers responsible for inserting and maintaining urinary catheters. The data regarding nurses’ knowledge, practice and associated factors towards prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections are limited in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge, practice, and associated factors of nurses towards prevention of catheter-associated UTIs in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods An institutional-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from March 01 to April 15, 2021, among nurses working in the ICU of public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All 204 nurses working in the ICU of four public hospitals were included in the study using the census sampling method. Data were collected using a pretested self-administered semi-structured questionnaire. Data were cleaned and entered into Epi data version 4.6 and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.0. Pearson Chi-square and Fischer exact tests were performed to see the association between independent and dependent variables. The level of significance is considered at P-value less than 0.05. Results A total of 184 nurses participated in the study, making a response rate of 90.2%. The mean (±SD) age of the study participant was 29.07(±4.78). The study findings showed that more than half (63.04%) of nurses had poor knowledge and 88(47.83%) of nurses had poor practice towards prevention of catheter-associated UTIs. In this study, there was a statistically significant association between professional work experience and nurses’ knowledge in preventing catheter-associated UTIs (at P-value = 0.031). Conclusion In this study, nurses’ knowledge and practice towards the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was relatively poor. Professional work experience had a significant statistical association with the level of knowledge. Therefore, increasing the knowledge of nurses through appropriate educational programs and training on the preventive measures of device-associated infections was recommended to prevent catheter-associated UTIs.

“…Another study conducted by Sonali D. Advani et al (2019) ( N = 199) showed that the majority of physicians and nurses could not accurately identify indications for urine culture, especially those worked in community hospital were more likely to choose inappropriate indications and their mean knowledge scores were lower than those worked in tertiary care centre (Sonali et al, 2019). Besides, some studies reported that the doctors had better knowledge than the nurses (Sonali et al, 2019; Manisha et al, 2015; Ghauri et al, 2019).…”

“…For instance, in a survey conducted by Balu et al (2021) ( N = 95), 94.7% of the healthcare professionals identified high‐risk groups of CAUTI include female gender and elderly population (Balu et al, 2021). In several descriptive studies (Ghauri et al, 2019; Ivy et al, 2021; Kulbay & Tammelin, 2018; Shaver et al, 2018), more than 90% of HCWs knew that common preventive measures for CAUTI, such as urinary catheters should be inserted only by personnel who are proficient in technique of aseptic insertion and should be inserted only when necessary and removed as soon as possible, hand washing should be done instantly before and after any manipulation of catheter site or apparatus.…”

“…Amongst healthcare workers, doctors' knowledge of CAUTI's prevention and control better than the nurses on the whole (Sonali et al, 2019; Manisha et al, 2015; Ghauri et al, 2019), because in some countries and areas, the academic requirement of doctors is higher than the nurses. Those HCWs worked in community hospital were more likely to choose inappropriate indications.…”

Knowledge, attitudes and practices concerning catheter‐associated urinary tract infection amongst healthcare workers: a mixed methods systematic review

et al. 2022

Aim To evaluate healthcare workers' knowledge, attitudes and practices level of prevention and management of catheter‐associated urinary tract infection. Design A mixed‐methods systematic review. Methods Searches were conducted in CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Medline, PubMed and Web of Science databases. Limited literatures published in English before 20 June 2021. Data were analysed and synthesized using thematic analysis by two authors. Results Thirty‐four articles were included. Healthcare workers' unbalanced varied knowledge level, positive attitudes, undesirable practices of catheter‐associated urinary tract infection's prevention and control were identified. Barriers of healthcare workers' knowledge, attitudes and practices level of infection prevention included heavy workload, understaffing, physician variability in indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) practice by diagnosis, nursing variability in IUC placement technique, poor relationship and nurse's poor documentation. Leadership, better education, teamwork, technique training and information technology support, advocacy for nurse‐driven protocol and IUC removal reminder were considered as facilitators.
