Nanda Nursing Diagnosis for Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in women. Due to the shorter female urethra, contaminant bacteria pass more easily through the pathway to the bladder. Other factors at play are the tendency to retain urine as well as irritation of the skin of the urethral opening.
Urinary tract infections cause symptoms of frequent pain and burning sensation when urinating, spasm in the bladder area, hematuria, back pain may occur, fever, chills, pelvic and low back pain, pain when urinating, malaise, nausea and vomiting resulting in disturbances urinary elimination.

According to WHO in 2011, urinary tract infections were among the most common infections acquired by patients receiving treatment in health services
(health care-associated infection). In fact, urinary tract infections were recorded as the second most common (23.9%) in developing countries after surgical wound infections (29.1%) as the most common infections obtained by patients in health facilities. UTI is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Urinary tract infections are also more common in women than men.

Urinary tract infections are caused by various kinds of bacteria including E. coli, klebsiella sp, proteus sp, providensiac, citrobacter, P. aeruginosa, acinetobacter, enterococu faecali, and staphylococcus saprophyticus, however, about 90% of UTIs are generally caused by E. coli (Sjahjurachman, 2004).

Urinary Tract Infection Disease (UTI), the most important management in patients is to maintain urinary tract function and improve the quality of life of patients with immediate handling of urination so that urinary elimination disorders do not occur. (Jennyver 2012).

Independent interventions that are carried out to overcome this problem include: Providing a comfortable position for the patient so that it can reduce pain. Palpate the bladder every 4 hours for distention. Teach deep breathing relaxation techniques, Give
drinking intake of 2 – 2.5 liters per day (Kiran, et al 2013). The role of nurses that can be given to UTI patients is to help teach how to excrete urine, so that urinary tract infections do not occur (Ronald 2013).
