Maintaining prevention focus: Effect of evidence-based guidelines in reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections among critically ill children, A quasi-experimental study
Background & aim
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is an important cause of prolonged hospital stay, increasing the economic and medical burden for both patients and hospitals. It is also a key focus of hospital infection prevention and control. However, there are currently few studies that translate evidence-based scientific findings on CAUTI prevention and control into clinical applications and evaluations in critically ill children. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of evidence-based guidelines in reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections among critically ill children.
Design
A before/after non-randomized single-unit intervention study, corresponding to a quasi-experimental study type 1.
Subjects
A total of 50 children were included in the study: 25 children were collected pre-guidelines in the control group, and 25 children were collected post-guidelines in the study group.
Setting
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at xxx University, xxx, Egypt.
Methods
All eligible children were non-randomly assigned to either the study group or the control group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the study group received care based on evidence-based guidelines. The outcomes were evaluated within 24 h of urinary catheter insertion until its removal through targeted rounds focused on compliance with evidence-based guidelines and a checklist for catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
Results
The evidence-based guidelines training, compliance, and application significantly reduced the occurrence of clinical catheter-associated urinary tract infections (24 %) compared to the control group (64 %) (P = 0.004∗).
Conclusion
The evidence-based guidelines intervention had a protective effect on the outcomes of catheterized critically ill patients. Therefore, it should be integrated into standard nursing care for catheterized critically ill patients.
期刊介绍:
Aims & Scope: This is the practical, bimonthly, research-based journal for all professionals concerned with the care of neonates and their families, both in hospital and the community. It aims to support the development of the essential practice, management, education and health promotion skills required by these professionals. The JNN will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between the range of professionals working in this field; promote cooperation between these professionals; facilitate partnership care with families; provide information and informed opinion; promote innovation and change in the care of neonates and their families; and provide an education resource for this important rapidly developing field.
