Abstract:
The study was carried out to determine the effect of the application of the Urinary Infections and Incontinence Prevention Care Package (UII-PCP) on incontinence and infections in female patients. This was an experimental pilot study with nonrandomized application and a control group design. The study was conducted with 52 female patients in the adult ICU. A patient identification form and patient follow-up form were completed with the intervention and control groups, and the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-V8) was completed with both of the groups on the day of discharge and 1 month after discharge. The incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTI) symptoms after catheterization was significantly higher in the intervention group (42.3%) compared to the control group (15.4%; p < 0.05). Although there were signs of CA-UTI in the intervention group, no significant correlation was found with the urine culture growth results (p < 0.05). UI and CA-UTI status when applying UII-PCP were examined, and no significant results were identified. However, since this represents the first study on this topic, further studies are warranted.

01:24Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
