Note. CAUTI = catheter-associated urinary tract infection; CI = confidence interval; ns = not significant at p < .05; SE = standard error. A positive sign for B1 favors the control (usual care group); a negative sign favors the intervention group. Complete statistical results are available from the authors (MHW).

a

Treatment effects were obtained controlling for baseline outcomes and time (Equation 3).

b

Treatment effects were obtained controlling for baseline outcomes, time from 2 to 12 months, and first vs. second half of the study (Equation 5).

c

Scored from 1 = very mild to 10 = most severe imaginable.

d

Scored from 1 = strongly agree to 5 = strongly disagree; higher scores reflect better self-rated quality of life.
