Abstract

Urinary tract infections are of great importance in the health care of patients, as they are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and then the bladder. A urinary tract infection can occur at different points in the urinary tract including the bladder, kidneys, ureters, urethra. Women tend to get them more frequently, because their urethra is shorter than that of men. This causes a high percentage of morbidity. The aim of this intervention plan is to work with the nurses of the different shifts in the adult ICU to reduce urinary tract infections. It will be oriented to the training of urinary catheter placement and maintenance, therefore, an intervention work will be addressed, specifying the technique, to achieve the proposed objective. That is why we will work together with the head of the service, to see the daily provision of nursing staff and thus be able to plan the training schedule, also will be provided with different tools to reduce urinary tract infections. Likewise, the process will be continuously supervised and an evaluation instrument will be provided..
