Adhesive Devices Versus Elastic Devices for Urinary Catheter Securement in Critically Ill Patients Experimental Study

Nowadays there are two types of urinary catheter securement devices, adhesive and elastic bands. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which type of device-adhesive or elastic-is more effective for securing urinary catheters in critically ill patients. The study also aims to evaluate the prevention of urethral meatus injuries, patient discomfort, and the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections . The main questions the trial aims to answer are: * Which device type better prevents injuries to the urethral meatus? * Which device reduces discomfort for patients? * Which device lowers the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections? Participants will: * Use either an adhesive or an elastic device to secure their urinary catheter during their stay in critical care * Be monitored regularly to assess any injuries, discomfort, or infections related to the catheter * Provide feedback on their comfort and any complications experienced, if they are able to communicate

Prevent Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI) is a localized skin and/or subcutaneous tissue injury that occurs due to the pressure exerted by devices used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, taking the form of the medical device used. Medical device-related pressure injuries are an important adverse event with a high incidence and prevalence both in our country and in the world, accounting for more than 30% of hospital-related injuries. Medical device-related pressure injury significantly affects the quality of life of patients, but also negatively affects the cost of care for both the patient and providers. Although the most important task in preventing medical device-related pressure injuries falls on nurses, it is quite noticeable that nurses' knowledge levels of MDRPI are low in the studies conducted. MDRPI is an important issue that is ignored in nursing education and work areas in our country. In order to prevent pressure injuries associated with medical devices, it is necessary to invest more in early detection of MDRPI and improving the quality of care, studies including MDRPI risk assessment and reporting strategies are needed. In the project to be carried out in this context, it is aimed to evaluate the impact of training applied to nurses to prevent MDRPI.
