    Determining the Knowledge and Attitudes of Nurses about Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections
    (2022) Polat, Hilal Türkben; Aslan, Hakime
    Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of nurses about the urinary catheter associated urinary tract infections. Material method: This research is a descriptive study. The study was conducted between April and May 2021 in a medical faculty hospital. The sample of the study consisted of 220 nurses working in the medical faculty hospital. The data were collected online through an introductory information form and “Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections Control Precautions Scale” (CAUTICPS). Findings: The CAUTICPS mean score of nurses was 64.01 ± 8.09 and their knowledge and attitudes were high. It was determined that the difference between the variables of receiving education about infections associated with urinary catheter, knowing about the surveillance rate of the institution and the employed unit and the total mean score of CAUTICPS was statistically significant (p<0.05). It was determined that the knowledge levels of the nurses who received training, knew about the surveillance speed and were employed in the intensive care unit were higher. While there was a positive, weak significant correlation was found between the age and mean scores of CAUTICPS (p<0.05), there was no significant correlation between the duration of employment and total scale score (p>0.05). Conclusion and recommendations: It was determined that the knowledge levels of the nurses about preventing the catheter associated urinary tract infections were high. It is recommended to provide nurses having insufficient knowledge with in-service training. In addition, nurses should play an active role in taking the infection control measures concerning the healthcare of institutions and their surveillance follow-up.

    The Effects of Three-way Stopcock and Split Septum Injection Valve Usage on Catheter Infection and Colonization: A Quasi-Experimental Study
    (2022) Polat, Hilal Türkben; Erci, Behice
    Objective: Connectors are frequently and necessarily used in patients undergoing intravenous fluid therapy. All of the catheters and connectors may be a risk factor for catheter infections if aseptic techniques were not used. This study was conducted to deter- mine the effect of 3-way stopcock (3WSC) and Split Septum Injection Valve (SSIV) Usage on peripheral intravenous catheter colonization and infection. Material and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. The sample of the study consists of 216 patients (108 control, and 108 experimental group). 3WSC was integrated to the control group and SSIV was integrated to the experiment group peripheral ve- nous catheters. Catheters were observed for 72 hours in terms of com- plications such as bleeding, leakage, and phlebitis infiltration. Catheters were removed for culture sampling 72 hours after catheterization. De- scriptive statistics and Pearson chi-square were used in the analysis of the data. Results: The rate of colonization was 5.6% in 3WSCs and 2.8% in SSIVs. When the colonization rates were compared, there was no statistically significant difference between 3WSCs and SSIVs about catheter colonization and infection (p>0.05). Conclusion: Both con- nectors can be used safely in the administration of continuous intra- venous solution and drug therapy. Development of continuous in-service training programs for the prevention of catheter related blood system infections are suggested.
