Abstract
:
Introduction: Urinary catheterization is one of the most common procedures performed in hospitals especially in intensive care units. Urinary catheter is considered the most significant risk factor for acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs), and more than 80% of all acquired UTIs are attributable to catheter use. The study aim: To assess nurses' knowledge and practices toward prevention of catheter- associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH). Design: A cross-section, correlational design was used. Setting: Medical and intensive care units at KAUH in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (SA). Sample: A convenience sample of 137 nurses was used to collect the data based on the selected criteria. Tool: Knowledge and Practices Questionnaire was completed by participants. It included two parts: Part I: Socio-Demographic Questionnaire. Part II: Level of Knowledge and Extent of Practices Questionnaire. Data collection was carried out from November 2017 to January 2018. Data was analyzed using the SPSS version 22. Results: The study findings revealed that near two-thirds of nurses (62.77%) had a low level of knowledge and 83.94% of nurses had a poor level of practices. While 16.1% of nurses had a good level of practices. There was no significant relation between nurses’ knowledge and practice toward CAUTI prevention. While there was a significant relation between nurses' knowledge and age. There was a significant relation between nurses' practices and current work unit. Conclusion: There were knowledge deficit and poor practices about CAUTI prevention among nurses. There was no significant relation between nurses’ knowledge and practice toward CAUTI prevention. Moreover, there were no significant relation between socio-demographic data and nurse’s knowledge or practices scores. Recommendations Further studies are needed to investigate the barrier affecting nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding CAUTI prevention. Nurses should be trained regularly in CAUTI prevention, also hospital administration in Saudi hospitals should make every effort to include CAUTI prevention in their high priority list.
