Preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections is in the forefront of health care quality. However, nurse and physician engagement is a common barrier in infection prevention efforts. After implementation of a multidisciplinary catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention campaign, we studied the impact of our campaign and showed its association with reducing the CAUTI rate and catheter utilization and the positive effect on health care workers' engagement and perspectives. CAUTI prevention campaigns can lead to lower infection rates and change health care workers' perspective.
预防导尿管相关尿路感染是医疗质量的首要任务。然而，护士和医生的参与是感染预防工作中的常见障碍。在实施多学科导尿管相关尿路感染（CAUTI）预防活动后，我们研究了该活动的影响，并表明其与降低CAUTI发生率、减少导尿管使用以及对医护人员的参与度和观念产生积极影响有关。CAUTI预防活动可降低感染率并改变医护人员的观念。
