Abstract
The present study was to assess the effectiveness of Betadine Vs. Normal Saline for catheter care in reducing the occurrence of Urinary Tract Infection among patients with indwelling catheter in KMCH, Coimbatore. This study was undertaken during the year 2011-2012, in partial fulfillment of requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Nursing at KMCH College of Nursing, Coimbatore, which is affiliated to the Tamilnadu Dr.M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai. OBJECTIVE : 1. To assess the occurrence of UTI among patients receiving catheter care with Normal Saline. 2. To estimate the occurrence of UTI among patients receiving catheter care with Betadine. 3. To compare the rates of UTI among patients who received catheter care with Normal Saline and those who received catheter care with Betadine. DESIGN: Randomized Block design, a specific type of 2x2 factorial design. SETTING: Intensive Care Unit, Kovai Medical Center and Hospital, Coimbatore. SAMPLE: 60 subjects who were catheterized, 30 subjects for normal saline group (15 males and 15 females) and 30 subjects for Betadine group (10 males and 10 females). SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Non Probability Purposive Sampling Technique. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: Ernestine Widenbach’s Helping Art of Clinical Nursing Theory (1970) was framed. INTERVENTION: The KMCH catheter protocol was followed for catheter care except for altering the solution. The catheter care was given till the day of removal of catheter and after two days clinical symptoms of UTI was assessed and if it is presents urine specimen was obtained for urine culture and microscopic analysis by the investigator. OUTCOME MEASURES: UTI clinical symptoms assessment checklist, urine microscopic analysis and urine culture report were analyzed. RESULTS: Clinically there was a significant difference in the rate of Urinary Tract Infection between the normal saline & betadine groups but statistically it’s not proven. CONCLUSION: This study supported that the usage of normal saline was not inferior to betadine for catheter care. Hence the normal saline solution can be recommended in clinical practice, to reduce the incidence of Urinary Tract Infection, which is cost effective.
