Primaire uitkomstmaten
In our multi-centered prospective interrupted time series, our primary aim is 15% reduction in inappropriate urinary catheter (UC) use. We will evaluate the efficacy of the app in this quality improvement project on clinical wards.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are the main cause of healthcare associated infections, leading to higher burden of disease, more antibiotic use and prolonged hospital stay. Inappropriate placement of a urinary catheter (UC) and unnecessary prolongation of use, lead to an elevated and preventable risk of infection.
The smartphone application ‘Participatient’ is developed to involve patients in the communication and decision-making on urinary catheter use with the aim to overcome unnecessary (long-term) use of catheters to prevent CAUTI.
Doel van het onderzoek
By providing patients reliable information and daily checklists via an app, we aim to give the patient a tool to be involved in the management of the catheter use. In this way, inappropriate use should be better signaled and discouraged, and the risk of infection will be reduced.
Onderzoeksopzet
During 6 months prior to the intervention, and 6 monthes afterwards, we will perform point-prevalence surveys every 14 days, of urinary catheter appropriateness, along with the secondary endpoints: amount of UTI and CAUTI, patient satisfaction with admission, communication between patient and staff and trust in healthcare workers.
