| 2021 | CLABSI causes up to 28000 deaths yet it is preventable. Bathing with CHG has proved to reduce harm yet its uptake in the clinical setting is poor. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the implementation of a multifaceted program on nurses’ compliance to the bathing process with chlorhexidine and documentation into electronic health records. The secondary objective was to determine the effects of the intervention on the rate of CLABSI. | Qualitative – Clustered-randomized design and clustering of units into 4 sequences using step wedge. | 14 clinical units were used, 8 being university hospitals while 6 were hospitals in community settings. | Conducting education outreach feedback and auditing. Daily bathing of patients with Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG). The study was guided by the Grol and Wasening model of Implementation | Champion nurses for infection prevention and control observed nurses providing CHG baths. The champion nurse documented the body parts bathed with CHG and conducted an audit while remaining anonymous. Data obtained was fed into RedCap for analysis. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | Compliance with the bathing process and the perception and knowledge towards bathing with CHG improved. There was a decrease in the rate of CLASI by 27.4% (Reynolds et al., 2021) | Conducting educational outreach, assessing feedback, and conducting periodic audits can improve knowledge and adoption of using CHG to bath patients thus leading to reduced CLABSI. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | This article is essential in improving nurses` knowledge about the process of bathing patients with CHG and its importance. Also, educating and engaging nurses in practice is essential in lowering CLABSI. |

| 2017 | The hypothesis of the study was based on the assumption that daily bathing of ICU patients with CHG reduces the risk of HAIs. The objective was to assess facilitators and barriers to daily bathing while describing the process of bathing using CHG. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. | The study was conducted in a veterans administration hospital. 26 individuals working in the ICU were included in the study. | The bathing process was demonstrated while identifying the barriers and facilitators of the process. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | Data was collected using semi-structured interviews that lasted an average of 26 minutes. Qualitative content analysis was used for the analysis and coding of data. | The research revealed some barriers to bathing patients with CHG included workload, scheduling, and some patient factors including hypersensitivity, general hygiene, and patient refusal (Musuuza et al., 2017). Facilitators of the process included the availability of CHG soap, the policy of bathing with CHG daily, and reminders by nurse managers. | Addressing barriers related to patients, staff, and the organization should be done to improve the process of bathing. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | The study is useful in addressing some barriers and facilitators to CHG bathing. Putting in place measures that counter those barriers can lead to enhanced adoption of CHG bathing in ICU patients. This can result in decreased CLABSI while enhancing patient outcomes. |

| 2020 2021 | The hypothesis of the study was based on the fact that CHG reduced rates of CHG. However, its efficacy had not been tested in oncology patients or those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell replacement Bloodstream infections account for up to 45% of infections in patients undergoing allogeneic HC (Giri et al., 2021). The use of CHG in critically ill reduces the rates of infection. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of bathing with CHG on the adult patient undergoing allogeneic HCT. | Randomized, placebo-controlled trial Prospective cohort study | The study was carried out in 36 centers in Canada and the USA. Patients > 2 months and <22 rears were eligible for the study. 177 patients were enrolled in the study. The study was conducted at the Duke University Medical Center for 3 years. 192 patients were assessed while grouped into 4 categories. | Patients were grouped into 2 groups. One group was used as a control while the other group was bathed daily using CHG for 90 days. Patients were grouped into 4 based on the compliance to CHG use. Categories include high, medium, low, and none. | Blood cultures were performed on enrolled patients to determine the various causes of infections. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table Blood cultures were collected to assess the presence of infection. Analysis was done using a univariate trend. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | The result revealed minimal effects of CHG in reducing infections in patients undergoing allogeneic HCT. The group receiving CHG had a CLABSI rate of 5.44 compared to 3.10 in the control group (Zerr et al.). However, the study was stopped due to poor accrual. The results showed a reduced rate of bloodstream infection by 15.6% on those who frequently used CHG. | The use of CHG did not show much effect in cancer patients, however, more studies should be conducted to ascertain its effect. Premature stoppage of the study may have influenced the results negatively. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table Daily bathing of adults undergoing allogeneic HCT is beneficial should be implemented in patients with cancer. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | This study was useful in explaining some incidences when CHG use is not beneficial. This gives clear guidelines about the kind of patients that will benefit from a certain intervention. It also provided a platform on which future researches will be based. The research supports my PICOT question on the effectiveness of CHG in reducing CLABSI. |

| The study hypothesis was based on evidence from prospective randomized control that demonstrated the positive impact of using CHG in reducing CLABSI. | Real-world data study in a stepwise manner. | The study was carried out in Switzerland in the ICU of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) and another referral hospital. Only available patients were studied irrespective of their conditions. The study was done from 2006 to 2018. | The intervention was provided in a step-wise model. Catheter bundle care was observed with a gradual introduction of CHG in care. CHG gel and sponge dressing were used. | Data regarding the length of stay in the hospital and ICU were collected from each patient. SAPS II score was used. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | The results revealed a progressive decrease in the rate of CLABSI over time with the introduction of CHG over the eleven years (Eggimann et al., 2019). | The use of CHG in the catheter bundle showed a reduction in the rate of CLABSI. This recommends for its daily use in caring for patients. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | This study was useful in expanding the importance of CHG in caring for the patient. Knowledge from this study can be used in improving care to reduce infection rates. | |

| CLABSI is still prevalent in most hospitals in the USA. The goal of the study aimed to evaluate the effects of multimodal interventions in the reduction of HAIs | Observational study using clustered non-randomized trial in 3 cohorts of the hospital. | The study included 462 hospitals, 24 within Colombia district with other hospitals in rural and urban centers | The nursing staff was provided with knowledge about the care of patients through webinars, videos, and interaction with experts. A device proven to reduce the rate of HIAs was used on patients. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | Data was collected using tabulations. Further information was retrieved from hospital records. The results were compared at pre and post-interventional periods. | At the beginning of the study, the CLABSI rates were at 71.4 per 1000 catheter days. During the intervention and post-intervention period, the rate of CLABSI reduced to 0.80 per 1000 catheter days (Patel et al., 2019). Device utilization rate decreased during and after the study. | The multimodal approach is effective in reducing the rates of CLABSI when used appropriately. More research was to be done to show the efficiency of the device in reducing HAIs. NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project: Evaluation of Literature Table | The knowledge from the study helps appreciate the role of various approaches including the use of CHG in reducing infections. | |
