Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTIs) is the most common type of hospital-acquired infection that is mostly linked with indwelling urinary catheter use, that is, catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs). Aim: The study evaluated the impact of utilizing urinary catheter care bundle on minimizing the incidence of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) among surgical intensive care patients. This study is a quasi-experimental and was conducted in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) at King Fahad Hospital in Madina Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study subjects are divided into two groups: Thirty (30) nurses who are providing nursing care for the patient during urinary catheter insertion and through on-going maintenance of the catheter, the other group are eighty (80) patients with a urinary catheter that are divided into a control and intervention group. Tools of the study. Three (3) different instruments were used in the study: The first tool was patient devolvement assessment sheet for reporting the symptoms of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI); the Second tool was a structured observational checklist, and the Third tool was urinary catheter care bundle. Findings: The study findings concluded that implementation of catheter care bundle minimizes the incidence of (CAUTI) compared to routine care of urinary catheter. It also enhances positive changes in the nursing practice and patient outcome that was observed among the intervention group who received urinary catheter bundle.
