    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research
    • Experimental Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Nursing research often overlooks experimental and laboratory approaches.
    • Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are a significant clinical challenge.
    • Existing models may not fully replicate the complexities of CAUTIs in vivo.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of a novel in vitro bladder model.
    • To facilitate experimental investigation of infections in catheterized patients.
    • To advance research methodologies in nursing science.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized bioreactor system simulating bladder conditions.
    • Incorporation of urinary tract pathogens and catheter materials.

  • Establishment of parameters for infection monitoring and analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • The in vitro model successfully replicated key aspects of bladder infection.
    • The model allowed for controlled experimentation on infection dynamics.
    • Preliminary data demonstrated the model's utility in testing interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed in vitro bladder model offers a valuable tool for studying CAUTIs.
    • This approach supports a broader experimental research design in nursing.
    • Further research using this model can inform clinical practice and prevention strategies.
