Summary of Clinical Issue:
A catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is one of the most commonly hospital acquired infections according to emerging research. Even with the best precautionary measures, the chances of developing this infection are about 9% for catheterized patients. About 9% to24% of these patients develops CAUTI. A good number of hospitalized patients have a urinary catheter increasing the risk of developing CAUTI. In addition, healthcare institutions are penalized for having more than expected CAUTIs making them experience significant financial impacts. CAUTI risk is associated to the dwell time of the catheter. The rate of development of the bacterium causing CAUTIs for catheterized patients is about 4%-7% in a day.
However, this risk approaches 100% if the patients remain with the indwelling urinary catheter for more than thirty days. The recognition that about 75% of CAUTIs can be preventable has resulted in the development of multiple strategies to reduce development of CAUTIs in the healthcare setting. These interventions include simple approaches such as removing urinary catheters that are no longer needed and avoiding placing unneeded urinary catheters. Health care professionals are responsible for taking care of the patients having urinary catheters in the healthcare setting and are therefore important in preventing the development of CAUTIs.
PICOT Question: In the Management of CAUTI patients (P), how effective is staff education and regular monitoring of CAUTI cases (I) compared to maintenance of a closed urinary drainage system (C) in preventing the development of CAUTIs (O) for the period of hospital stay (T)?

Purpose Statement |
To investigate the effect of a multimodal initiative on CAUTI in hospitals with high burden of health care–associated infection (HAI) |
To reduce IDC usage rates by reducing inappropriate urinary catheterization and duration of catheterization. |
To examine the extent to which acute care hospitals in the Netherlands have adopted recommended practices to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). |
|
Research Question |
What are the effects of a multimodal initiative on CAUTI in hospitals with high burden of health care–associated infection (HAI)? |
How can IDC usage rates be reduced by reducing inappropriate urinary catheterization and duration of catheterization? |
What is the extent to which acute care hospitals in the Netherlands have adopted recommended practices to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI)? |
|
Outcome |
With the use of multimodal initiative, the risks of health care associated infections can reduce significantly. |
A sample size calculation has indicated that 500 patients per Health District would be sufficient to detect a 40% fall (15 to 9%) in relative IDC insertion rates with a power of 0.8 and alpha 0.05 |
Surveillance systems for monitoring CAUTI, CLABSI, VAP, and CDI were present in 17.8, 95.4, 26.2, and 77.3% of hospitals, respectively |
|
Setting (Where did the study take place?) |
Acute care, long-term acute care, and critical access hospitals, |
Hospitals in NSW, Australia |
Acute care hospitals in the Netherlands |
|
Sample |
387hospitals |
4- four acute care hospitals |
47 hospitals |
|
Method |
Prospective, national, nonrandomized, clustered, externally facilitated, pre–post observational quality improvement initiative |
multiple pre-post control intervention design using a phased mixed method approach |
Written interview |
|
Key Findings of the Study |
This multimodal intervention yielded no substantial improvements in CAUTI or urinary catheter utilization. |
Hospital-wide and multi-hospital interventions help to reduce urinary catheter use and the development of CAUTI. |
Most Dutch hospitals report regular use of recommended practices for preventing CLABSI and CDI. |
|
Recommendations of the Researcher |
Future studies should focus on how to improve the prevention of CAUTI. |
More studies need to be conducted on the topic to provide ways in which integrated approaches can be used to prevent CAUTI. |
Future studies should focus on the importance of using integrated approaches to the prevention of CAUTI |

Purpose Statement |
To describe the motivations, perceived risks for CAUTI acquisition, and strategies used to address CAUTI risk among EDs that had existing CAUTI prevention programs. |
To explore the actions of nurse leaders that facilitated clinical nurses' active involvement in emergency department (ED) catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention programs. |

|
Research Question |
Does early-adopting emergency departments (ED) redesigned workflows minimizes catheter use and ensure proper insertion technique? |
What are the actions of nurse leaders that facilitated clinical nurses' active involvement in emergency department (ED) catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention programs? |
What is the effectiveness of CAUTI guide to patient safety (GPS) in preventing CAUTI? |
|
Outcome |
ED CAUTI prevention was perceived to differ from CAUTI prevention in the inpatient setting. |
Clinical nurses are best positioned to examine urinary catheter insertion workflow and to suggest improvements in avoiding use and improving placement and maintenance. |
Nurse managers found the GPS helpful and complete. There was higher agreement between nurse managers and unit nurses than with physicians. |

Key Findings of the Study |
Early-adopting EDs redesigned workflow to minimize catheter use and ensure proper insertion technique |
The prevention of CAUTI is an important opportunity for nurse leaders to engage clinical nurses in meaningful improvement efforts |
GPS is comprehensive and may be best used to stimulate discussions between stakeholders to address key issues. |
|
Recommendations of the Researcher |
Assessment of ED workflow is necessary to identify and modify local practices that may increase CAUTI risk. |
The researchers suggest nurse leaders should focus on how urinary catheters expose patients to potential harm to engage clinical nurses in CAUTI prevention, |
The current healthcare structures need to be changed to accommodate GPS. |
