Our influence paper researched the effects of duration of catheter use on the incidence of CAUTI. After thoroughly reading the three articles, appraising and examining the evidence, it became clear that the researchers were not solely focusing on duration, more focused on inappropriate use and education.

Although…

In the future, I will use these teamwork skills that I learned in this…

I assumed that duration of a Foley catheter was a major factor in increasing the incidence of CAUTI however we were not able to find an article that directly focused on duration as a factor. I don’t think I realized this until the synthesis of our paper because when I looked at the…

This project so far has taught me more about teamwork, as well as the importance of evidence based practice in the healthcare field. When creating our PICOT question, we knew the topic that we wanted to focus on which was the risk of catheter associated urinary tract infections. However, after communicating with our professor we felt that we were not as detailed as we needed to be in our first draft of our question so we decided to rewrite it…
