Why you chose this article and/or how it relates to the clinical issue of interest (include a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest)

I selected this article because it is peer-reviewed. It also related to the clinical issue because the study carried out was about avoiding inappropriate urinary catheter use and CAUTI. It also explains how patient’s safety would be improved through implementation and vigorous analysis of clinical practice and practice change. Ethical approval and consent to participate was granted. The writer indicated that patients data will be stored on secure network, safeguarded by a password and only accessible to the research team members.

I chose the article because it is scholarly source that provides information related to the clinical issue. It is a peer reviewed article of less than five years. The article articulates on CAUTI reduction program to save lives and reduce harm. Ethics used include proper securement of data. It utilizes patient data using patient care services dashboard, collaborative care, and unit based score card.

I selected this article because contains the researched information connected to the clinical issue. The article is a peer reviewed. The article discusses about prevention of CAUTI. The ethics involved in the research - the study utilizes patient data, hence there is possibility of disclosing patient information.

I selected this article because the study was done about the effect of educating health care professionals concerning indwelling urinary tract catheter, how to care for a patient with one, and it stresses on the importance of removing the catheter as soon as possible (Menegueti, Et al., 2019). The article is entirely about CAUTI prevention steps. The patient data was included while conducting the research thus the patient or durable power of attorney has to sign a consent for participation.

Brief description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article

To minimize IDC usage rates by minimizing improper urinary catheterization and duration of catheterization.

To identify how effective BCC is in enhancing IDC-linked results.

The goals include: To boost nurses’ knowledge on how to reduce NSUH ICU and NSLIJHS ICU CAUTI.

To reduce cases of CAUTI and save lives.

To reduce harm and prevent cases of CAUTI.

The aim is to enhance nurses’ knowledge on how to deal with indwelling urinary catheter appropriately.

To low the cases of CAUTIs and enhance quality.

To analyze the impact of adopting a HWCs educational program and checklist for indwelling urinary catheter indication among critical patients on the incidence of CAUTI.

Brief description of the research methodology used Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixedmethods approach. Be specific.

Phased mixed method approach research design was used in this study. The multi pre-post control intervention was the specific method used. The data was collected by project staff, nurse consultants, and clinical nurse educators from every hospital.

The researched methodology entailed quantitative method that utilized percentiles to get the rate of NSUH AND NSLIJHS ICU SIR. The data collected showed improvement and reduction of NSUH indicating that education of nursing staff on CAUTI prevention essential.

The article employed quantitative method by utilizing numerical data associated with the study method.

Data generated provided comparison between pre and post-nurses’ education. The figures indicated that there is a difference between nurses’ comprehension about CAUTI prior and after the education program.

The research methodology that was used in the study is quantitative method. The Quasi-experimental study study was carried out for 12 years. It indicates the number of days the patients had catheters. The data on the protocol implementation on utilization of indwelling urinary catheters and rates of CAUTI in the intensive care unit.

A brief description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Phased mixed methods helps the researchers to understand contradictions between qualitative findings and quantitative results. It promotes scholarly interaction. The research method was implemented and analyzed in four acute care hospitals in NSW, Australia. It provided robust, valid and most reliable results because two methods were used.

The study entailed NSUH and NSLIJHS incidences from the year 2013-2015.

The research comprised of CNO’s, CMO’s physicians, registered nurses among other clinicians. The education program should reduce case of CAUTI as presented graphically.

The research entailed two units, a 393- bed acute care hospitals. 59 nurses finished the education program accompanied with evidence based practice.

Quasi-experimental study is cheaper and requires less resources. Quasi-experimental study was carried out in a nine beds general intensive care public hospital in southeast Brazil. The research produced reliable results that corresponds to the study. The results produced were consistent.

General Notes/Comment s

The article provided robust evidence from both qualitative and quantitative research. It will also add to the evidence-based through improving comprehension of interventions to minimize CAUTI.

Re-dosing education for nurses and other clinical staff enhance reduction of CAUTI cases.

The research give additional evidence proper education and training of nurses enhance quality of care for indwelling urinary catheters and how to prevent CAUTIs.

The article is valuable because it showed that HWCs training and implementation of a daily checklist for reviewing the indication of indwelling urinary catheters had a long-term positive impact on reduction of CAUTI rates in the general ICU.
