Implementing clinical guidelines to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections and improve catheter care in nursing homes: Systematic review

Catheter-related urinary tract infections are considered to be avoidable and are the most common health-related infections that cost-affect medical services. The penetration rate of special nursing home for seniors is high, but research conducted to determine whether clinical guidelines can reduce the infection rate in long-term care or improve the quality of catheter care Almost not.

Three studies assessed the impact of implementing a complete clinical guide. In the other five studies, the impact of implementing various elements of clinical guidelines has been evaluated

Prevention of catheter-related urinary tract infections in special nursing home for the elderly has been little attention clinically or researchally. Studies on the implementation of the entire guidelines are inadequate from a methodological point of view using critical criteria for critically assessing epidemiological studies on infection prevention. Studies to evaluate the effects of individual factors in clinical guidelines are more powerful and they can carry out their findings to prevent urinary tract infections in nursing care facilities.

Because residents of special nursing homes have indwelling catheters when entering a special nursing home for the elderly, catheter related urinary tract infections are common symptoms affecting residents of special nursing home . These infections are costly, lead to hospitalization and contribute to the development of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, which poses a serious threat to biological health. However, CAUTI may be preventable by using practices that promote wise use of the catheter, and concerns about sterile insertion and catheter care. In previous randomized controlled trials, the potential impact of intervention to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections has been demonstrated, but interventions are not widely adopted.

Prevention of catheter-related urinary tract infections in special nursing home for the elderly has been little attention clinically or researchally. Studies on the implementation of the entire guidelines are inadequate from a methodological point of view using critical criteria for critically assessing epidemiological studies on infection prevention. Studies to evaluate the effects of individual factors in clinical guidelines are more powerful and they can carry out their findings to prevent urinary tract infections in nursing care facilities.
