Abstract


The objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of cluster nursing intervention in preventing urinary catheter-related urinary tract infections. Seventy-eight patients with indwelling urethral catheters admitted to Funan County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2020 were recruited as study participants. They were randomly divided into a control group (routine nursing intervention) and an observation group (cluster nursing intervention). The results showed that compared with the control group, the observation group had better total effectiveness rate, shorter indwelling catheter time, shorter disappearance time of bladder irritation symptoms, higher scores of emotional role, physical health, cognitive ability, social function and quality of life, lower occurrence of adverse catheter events, and higher nursing satisfaction. We conclude that clustered nursing can reduce the occurrence of urinary catheter-related urinary tract infections, promote the quality of life, shorten the duration of catheter indwelling and bladder irritation symptoms, prevent adverse catheter events, and improve nursing satisfaction of patients with patients with indwelling urinary catheters.
