Objective: The purpose of this project is to improve satisfaction of patients who have to indwell urinary tract catheters (UTCs). For the patients with UTC, current indwelling methods could not only increase chances of unexpected infection and inappropriate drag, but also interrupt daily life of patients. In addition, explicit UTC could cause decrement of self-esteem. Methods: After analyzing the results of total 30 questionnaires, no standard nursing process, lacking in-service education, dissatisfied with explicit UTC, and interrupting patients' daily life are found as major factors. Hence, the ward performed this project from November, 2012 to May, 2013. In this project, a new designed UTC bag was used to carry and cover UTC. As well, this project formulated new guideline and review mechanism, as well as in-service education. Results: After finishing the project, those procedures reproved patient satisfaction from 49.8% to 94.8%. Conclusion: New UTC bag had been demonstrated to significantly improve patients' satisfaction. The patients with indwelling UTC were no longer afraid to pe1form social communication. This project had been promoted to other wards, and improved nursing level. |
