Development and application of disposable closed midstream urine collector / 中华护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To solve the problems of easily being contaminated and being difficult to hold and poor sealing for traditional midstream urine collection cups,and to reduce the unqualified rate of midstream urine collection.Methods A total of 126 patients without indwelling urinary catheter were selected from July to December in 2016 as the experimental group.From January to May 2016,112 patients without urinary catheter were selected as the control group.On the basis of conventional therapy and nursing care,the experimental group was given the self-designed disposable closed midstream urine collector to collect the specimens,and the control group was given the traditional urine cup to collect specimens.The unqualified rate,patient satisfaction and compliance were compared between two groups.Results There were 126 specimens in the experimental group,ll5 were qualified specimens,11 were unqualified specimens,and the unqualified rate was 8.73％(11/126);there were 122 specimens in the control group,91 were qualified specimens,21 were unqualified specimens,and the unqualified rate was 18.75％ (21/122);the satisfaction scores of the experimental group and the control group were (4.3±0.2) and (2.8±0.6),respectively;the experimental group had 66 cases of full compliance,48 cases of partial compliance,12 cases of non-compliance,and the compliance rate was 90.47％ (114/126);the control group had 27 cases of full compliance,51 cases of partial compliance,34 cases of noncompliance,and the compliance rate was 39.28％(44/112).Conclusion The disposable closed midstream urine collector can reduce the unqualified rate of specimens and improve patient satisfaction rate and compliance.
