Compliance with the prevention of CAUTIs in terms of recording the general patient's information, insertion practices, and maintenance practices lies within the range of 50-75%, and the recommended practices are usually followed. A targeted education on CAUTI-prevention practices curtailing the most aggravating risk factors and adopting a safety culture driven by a patient handling and audited protocol program should be explored to reduce hospital CAUTIs.
