Long-term indwelling urinary catheter care: conceptualizing the research base

Journal of Advanced Nursing
M H Wilde

Abstract

The traditional public health concepts of agent, host, and environment can provide a useful interdisciplinary model for analysing the current state of knowledge in long term indwelling urinary catheter care. A broad review of literature about urinary catheter care was carried out to identify major areas of research and gaps in knowledge. Most research in the past decade has focused on understanding how catheter encrustations develop and how such encrustations may contribute to leaking/blocking of the catheter and urinary tract infection. Two tables are presented which summarize research related to the development of sediment/encrustation of the catheter and to irrigation of the catheter. Nevertheless, many areas related to catheter care have not been studied extensively. The patient's perspective is one such area. Other areas that have not been studied in depth include care of the drainage bag and the role of fluid intake. These under-studied concerns relate to environmental factors with which the nurse is directly involved, namely, asepsis and hydrokinetic forces. Further conceptualization of the nursing role in long-term urinary catheter care might aid in the development of nursing theories that could be tested to understand ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
