Background: Nosocomial infections are a global problem and cover about 9%
(variation 3% - 21%) of more than 1.4 million hospitalized patients worldwide. This
figure was reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) from the results of
its survey in 14 countries, covering 28,861 patients in 47 hospitals located in 14
WHO regions in 1986. The losses caused by nosocomial infections weigh heavily
on both hospitals and patients. The most common nosocomial infections are the
result of catheter insertion. Caterization is one of the most frequently carried out
health interventions. Bladder catheterization carries a high risk of urinary tract
infections (UTIs) and is considered to be one of the main causes of nosocomial
infections. The high rate of infection after catheter placement is also a result of the
difficulty of controlling, maintaining and replacing catheters in patients who
require permanent catheter placement. According to Sukandar (2006), UTI ranks
the second most common infection after respiratory tract infections with a total of
8.3 million per year. 90 Urinary tract infections in Indonesia and their prevalence
is high. The number of UTI sufferers in Indonesia is 95 cases / 104 population per
year or around 180,000 new cases each year.
