Abstract: Objectives: To study the current status of nurse’ indwelling urine catheter in China, and to provide the best evidence and the basis for best nursing practice about urinary catheter care. Methods: Using convenient sampling method,we recruited 2200 nurses from July to September, 2015 in 96 medical institutions among 14 provinces. We surveyed the status of 3609 patients with indwelling urine catheter on survey day. Results: About 57.2% patients’ meatus urinarius were cleaned twice a day. About 67.4% patients were disinfected using iodine preparation. About 29.8% patients were kept urine specimens from catheter directly with 19.8% from the joint of catheters and urine collection bags, 19.4% from the urine collection bags, and 8.5% from a percutaneous bladder biopsy. About 85.3% patients replaced urine catheter periodically and 41.3% patients were changed once a month. About 76.8% patients did not do bladder irrigation regularly. For the patients with bladder irrigation, 88.7% of patients used saline. Conclusion: Clinical nurses didn’t achieve a unified norms and standard while caring for patients with urinary catheter. Currently, the big challenge faced by clinical nurses is how to introduce the best evidence to clinic effectively.
