Introduction:Most common bacterial infection affecting about 150 million people every year around the world is urinary tract infection1. Urinary tract infection can be defined as a condition, in which bacteria divide and multiply in the urinary tract and infect the organs included (kidney, ureter, urinary bladder and urethra). Method: an anonymous questionnaire with 15 questions regarding basic precautions for UTI was formulated using Google forms. The questionnaire was articulated in collaboration with an expert in the field. Simple random sampling was thrown out for choosing the participants. The link to the survey was made reach to the intended participants through email and WhatsApp. Conclusion: In this study we found out that in 412 participants, more than half of the participants (54.6%) were recurrently suffering from urinary tract infection (UTI) and about 82.7% of participants suffering from UTI are married whereas only 47.6% unmarried population is affected by urinary tract infection.

ABSTRAKKepatuhan adalah perilaku positif yang diperlihatkan seseorang saat mengarah ke tujuan terapeutik yang ditentukan bersama. Kejadian ISK merupakan 40% dari seluruh infeksi nosokomial dan 80% infeksi saluran kemih terjadi sesudah instrumentasi, terutama oleh kateterisasi. Pelaksanaan pencegahan infeksi nosokomial oleh perawat berkaitan dengan kepatuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kepatuhan perawat dalam menjalankan standar prosedur operasional perawatan kateter dengan angka kejadian infeksi saluran kemih. Desain penelitian yang digunakan deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Tehnik pengambilan sampel menggunakan proportional simple random sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 51 responden. Alat ukur menggunakan lembar observasi. Analisis data menggunakan uji alternatif fisher’s exact test.Kejadian ISK adalah 11 (21,6%) pasien, sementara pasien yang tidak mengalami ISK adalah sebanyak 40 responden (78,4%). Tingkat kepatuhan SPO perawatan kateter tinggi sebanyak 12  responden (23,5%), tingkat kepatuhan SPO perawatan kateter sedang sebanyak 39 responden (64,7%). Hasil uji fisher didapatkan p value = 0,048 (<0,05). Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara kepatuhan perawat dalam menjalankan standar prosedur operasional perawatan kateter dengan angka kejadian infeksi saluran kemih. Kata Kunci : Kepatuhan perawat, SPO, perawatan kateter, ISK. ABSTRACTCompliance is defined as the positive action done by someone to achieve a desired theuraphetic result which has been designated together. Urinary tract infection cases account for 40% of nosocomical infection figure and 80% of the urinary tract infection occur after instrumentation, especially catheterization. The implementation of nosocomical infection prevention done by the nurses depends on their compliance towards the procedure. This research aims to find out the relationship between the nurses’ compliance towards the standard operational procedure of catheter treatment with the figure of urinary tract infection cases. This research utilizes the descriptive analysis research design coupled with cross sectional approach. The researchers use proportional simple random sampling as the sampling method; the number of samples is 51 respondents. To get and measure the responses, the researchers use observation sheet. The data obtained is then analyzed with the fisher’s exact test alternative test.Urinary tract infection cases happen in 11 patients (21.6%) while the other 40 patients (78.4%) do not have such infection. The number of nurses who highly comply towards the standard operational procedure of catheter treatment is 12 (23.5%) and nurses who show mediocre compliance towards the standard operational procedure are 39 (76,5%). The fisher’s test comes out the p value to be 0.048 (<0.05). The research found out that there is a significant correlation between the nurses’ compliance in carrying out the standard operational procedure of catheter treatment with the number of urinary tract infection cases. Keywords: Nurses’ compliance, Standard Operational Procedure, catheter treatment, urinary tract infection.

To investigate the association among lower urinary tract infection (UTI), the type and timing of antibiotic usage, and the subsequent risk of developing cancers, especially genitourinary cancers (GUC), in Taiwan. This retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted using 2009–2013 data from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. This study enrolled patients who were diagnosed with a UTI between 2010 and 2012. A 1:2 propensity score-matched control population without UTI served as the control group. Multivariate analysis with a multiple Cox regression model was applied to analyze the data. A total of 38,084 patients with UTI were included in the study group, and 76,168 participants without UTI were included in the control group. The result showed a higher hazard ratio of any cancer in both sexes with UTI (for males, adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.32; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12–1.54; for females, aHR = 1.21; 95% CI = 1.08–1.35). Patients with UTI had a higher probability of developing new GUC than those without UTI. Moreover, the genital organs, kidney, and urinary bladder of men were significantly more affected than those of women with prior UTI. Furthermore, antibiotic treatment for more than 7 days associated the incidence of bladder cancer in men (7–13 days, aHR = 1.23, 95% CI = 0.50–3.02; >14 days, aHR = 2.73, CI = 1.32–5.64). In conclusion, UTI is significantly related to GUC and may serve as an early sign of GUC, especially in the male genital organs, prostate, kidney, and urinary bladder. During UTI treatment, physicians should cautiously prescribe antibiotics to patients.

Abstract The aim of this work was to determine which part of a double-J ureteral stent (DJ stents) showed the highest tendency to crystal, calculi, and biofilm deposition after ureterorenoscopic-lithotripsy procedure (URS-L) to treat calcium oxalate stones. Additionally, the mechanical strength and the stiffness of DJ stents were evaluated before and after exposure to urine. Obtained results indicated that the proximal (renal pelvis) and distal (urinary bladder) part is the most susceptible for post-URS-L fragments and urea salt deposition. Both, the outer and inner surfaces of the DJ ureteral stents were completely covered even after 7 days of implantation. Encrustation of DJ stents during a 31-day period results in reducing the Young’s modulus by 27–30%, which confirms the loss of DJ stent elasticity and increased probability of cracks or interruption. Performed analysis pointed to the need to use an antibacterial coating in the above-mentioned part of the ureteral stent to prolong its usage time and to prevent urinary tract infection.

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infection. Elevated blood and urine interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels have been shown in inflammatory urinary tract diseases. The role of IL-6 in mediating the urodynamic dysfunction in response to E. coli-induced urinary tract infection has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of IL-6 in the nitric oxide (NO)-triggered alteration of contractile responses in the urinary bladder under an E. coli-induced inflammatory condition. The electrical field stimulation (EFS)-evoked contractions of the isolated detrusor strips, and immunoblotting for detecting protein expression in the bladders was measured short term (1 h) or long term (6 or 24 h) after intraperitoneal injection of E. coli endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) or intravesical instillation of human pyelonephritogenic E. coli-J96 (O4:K6) strain or LPS into mice. IL-6 and NO productions were increased in the urinary bladders of mice 1 to 24 h after LPS or E. coli-J96 treatment. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression and protein kinase C (PKC) activation and EFS-evoked detrusor contractions were increased in the bladders at 6 h after LPS or E. coli-J96 treatment, which could be reversed by anti-IL-6 antibody and iNOS inhibitor aminoguanidine. At 1 h after LPS administration, bladder NO generation, endothelial NOS expression, and EFS-evoked detrusor contractions were effectively increased, whereas anti-IL-6 antibody could not reverse these LPS-induced responses. These results indicate that IL-6 may play an important role in the iNOS/NO-triggered PKC-activated contractile response in urinary bladder during E. coli or LPS-induced inflammation.
