Abstract
The use of indwelling urinary catheters in hospitalized patients presents an increased risk of the
development of complications, including catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) which considered the
most common healthcare-associated infection (HAI). Using of aseptic technique in the care of urinary catheter
helps to minimize the risk of this complication. The aim of this study was determine the effect of aseptic technique
versus routine hospital care on prevention of catheter associated urinary tract infection. The study was carried out
at the urology departments of El-Zohor General Hospital, El-Mabra Health Insurance Hospital in Port Said City and
urology and Nephrology Center in Mansoura University to test the hypothesis that rate of urinary tract infection will
be decreased by using aseptic technique and will be increased by using routine hospital care. The research design
was a quasi-experimental design. The study included 60 female adult patients in need for urethral catheterization
for more than three days. They were equally divided into a study group for implementation of aseptic technique
and a control group received the routine hospital care. Two tools were used for data collections tool one included,
’observation checklist to assess patients’ bio-socio demographic characteristics, information regarding catheter,
efficacy of catheter drainage and implementation of aseptic technique during urinary catheter insertion and care
tool two included urine culture sheet. The results demonstrated Positive urine culture was higher in the control
group (50.0%) compared to (20.0%) in the study group (p=0.015). The study concluded that the incidence rate of
UTI among patients with urinary catheter can be decreased through using of aseptic technique compared to using
of routine hospital care. The study recommended that using of aseptic technique practice for insertion and care of
indwelling urinary catheter in the study setting and in other similar settings. Providing nurses with ongoing in-
service education and training stressing the practices of aseptic technique and correct urinary catheter care.
