“…These findings coincide with a study carried out by Marey et al ( 2020) who reported that statistical significant differences were found between nurses' knowledge and their gender. Also, these findings coincide with a study carried out by Mong et al (2022) who reported that the female nurses had achieved significantly higher knowledge levels Rashmi and Dhakal (2021), also had similar findings. This results weren't supported by Ayed (2015) who reported that no significant statistical differences were found between mean knowledge scores towards training course.…”

Introduction Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is one of the major device-associated hospital-acquired infections of the urinary tract. The nurse's knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) are the primary inputs for preventing the patient from developing CAUTI. Nevertheless, poor knowledge, a negative attitude, and poor practice toward the prevention of CAUTI among nurses remain an extensive problem. Objective This study aimed to assess KAP and associated factors toward the prevention of CAUTI among nurses in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2021. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses from March 1 to April 30, 2021, in five public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A total of 344 nurses were chosen for the study using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the prevention of CAUTI questionnaires. Data were entered into Epi Data 4.2 and exported into SPSS 25 for analysis. Binary and multivariate logistic regression were performed, and the statistical significance of associations between the variables was determined using odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval and p < .05. Results The study included 344 nurses, with a 97.7% response rate. Of the total nurses, 42.7% had good knowledge, 48.0% had a positive attitude, and 54.9% had good practice toward the prevention of CAUTI. Being married, having guidelines, and having a positive attitude were associated with good knowledge, whereas being married, having good knowledge, and having good practice were associated with a positive attitude toward the prevention of CAUTI. Having a high monthly income, having guidelines, having good knowledge, and having a positive attitude were associated with good practices toward the prevention of CAUTI. Conclusion The findings of this study show that nurses have a low level of knowledge, a negative attitude, and poor practice toward the prevention of CAUTI. Factors such as marital status, monthly income, and having guidelines in the working unit were associated with KAP toward the prevention of CAUTI. Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Hospital Interventions focused on these findings are required to improve KAP toward the prevention of CAUTI among nurses.

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

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.
