Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria.
To report the evidence for nurse-led practices of removing urinary catheters within the acute healthcare setting.įive databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, EMCARE, and INFORMIT) were systematically searched in a scoping review of all peer reviewed publications up to. Nurse-led protocols for early removal of urinary catheters to reduce the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections have been trialled. Catheter removal protocols, increased staffing and patient education require further evaluation.Ĭatheter-associated urinary tract infections significantly contribute to hospital acquired complications globally, with adverse implications for patient outcomes, healthcare, and fiscal resources. Multi-faceted education is likely to be effective. We suggest feedback should be considered because it facilitated reductions in UTI when used alone or in multifaceted interventions including education, audit or catheter removal protocols. The heterogeneity of studies means one effective intervention cannot be recommended. There were no studies examining prevention of E. Increasing nursing staff, community continence nurses, and catheter removal reminder stickers reduced infection. Two hospital studies of online training and catheter insertion and care simulations decreased CAUTIs from 33 to 14 and from 10.40 to 0. Van Gaal et al reported fewer UTIs per patient week (rr=0.39). Smith et al, reported reductions in CAUTI from 11.17 to 10.53 during Phase I and by 0.39 during Phase II (Chi-square=254). Dickson et al reported decreasing catheter associated UTI (CAUTI) by 88% F(1,20)=7.25. Six multi-faceted hospital interventions including education, with audit, and feedback or reminders reduced UTIs but only three provided statements of significance. Quality was assessed using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme guidelines and Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network grading.Ģ1 studies were reviewed, and all lacked methodological quality. Titles and/or abstracts were scanned and selected papers read fully to confirm suitability. Sixteen databases, grey literature and reference lists were searched. This review examines effectiveness of behavioural interventions to reduce E.coli bacteraemia and/or symptomatic UTIs for older adults.
