ABSTRACT
They are the most common and yet occupy 65% to 80% of nosocomial infections worldwide, despite efforts to control provided by the health authorities. In Africa, on a 46.7% infection rate of these infections, 43% are due to the survey. In Morocco, there is an incidence rate of 13.4% with a rate of 7.5% nosocomial bacteriuria among patients surveyed and a rate of nosocomial colonization of 6.5%. Hence the importance of this work to describe the risk factors for these infections aims. This is a descriptive study, prospective, qualitative and quantitative data collection tools as means of a questionnaire to 35 people involved in such acts; interviews with four medical specialists and the study of 30 cases of patients with urological services and resuscitation. This study showed that the risk factors associated with these infections are advanced patient age, poor health and disease history such as urinary tract infection, prostate cancer, gallstones and diabetes. Added to this are the organization of care such as lack of supervisory, non-notification of the surveyed patients and the workload of staff. As can be seen from this study, 33% of staff did not receive training in this technique, while there are twice as many bacteriuria when the probe is asked by a staff that is not specifically trained. The combination of the results allowed us to predict the risk factors of urinary tract infection-related survey and propose corrective and preventive actions; [a] set up units to IEC for patient education; [b] strengthen the health care team to reduce the workload attributed to it; [c] ensure compliance with protocols
