Abstract

Objective: To implement a bundle of measures to prevent Urinary Tract Infection associated with indwelling bladder catheterization in a cardiovascular system unit (CVS) of a public institution in Brazil. Methods: This is a health education activity aimed at professionals in the area of a cardiovascular intensive care unit (ICU) to reinforce professionals' knowledge about prevention measures. Results: The activity showed that the professionals did not know how to answer all the questions accurately, however, they were satisfied with the information presented on the prevention of UTIs associated with CVD. Conclusion: The professionals indicated that due to the recurrent care work, without carrying out health activities periodically to reinforce the clinical management of patients in an ICU on measures to prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) such as UTI, they have a deficit of information on procedures and prevention measures, which are lost during working time.
