Background Parent’s misconceptions or lack of knowledge about childhood urinary tract infections (UTIs) can negatively impact their children’s health. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the childhood urinary tract infections awareness and understanding among parents in Saudi Arabia. Patients and Methods An online validated cross-sectional survey of parents in Saudi Arabia was conducted from August to September 2021. Study participants who met the inclusion criteria were selected using a convenience sampling technique. A questionnaire with two domains was used to assess parental awareness of childhood urinary tract infection symptoms, complications, treatment, prevention, epidemiology, and diagnosis. The total childhood urinary tract infections awareness scores were classified into three categories: low awareness, moderate awareness, and high awareness. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the data distribution. A chi-square test was used to evaluate the relationship between parental awareness about urinary tract infections in children and other variables. Statistical significance was established at 0.05. Results Of the 1688 parents who completed the survey, 1289 (76.4%) were female, 1581 (93.7%) were married, and 1161 (68.8) had a university degree. Parent’s total awareness scores were high; however, individual domain scores indicate a moderate level of knowledge. Statistically significant relationship were observed between total awareness and gender, occupation, and level of educational level (( P =0.004, P =0.001, P =0.007, respectively). Another statistically significant relationship was noted between the history of urinary tract infections and awareness of disease prevention ( P =0.009). Conclusion In Saudi Arabia, parental knowledge about childhood urinary tract infections is moderate to high. However, future studies are needed to investigate gender, educational, and occupational variations in childhood UTI knowledge among parents in Saudi Arabia.

“…These findings were in agreement with a study in Egypt conducted by Mohamed H et al, (2019) (43) who revealed that most of the adolescent students had poor knowledge regarding UTI. Another study in Filipino by Navarro et al, (2019) (44) concluded that the majority of the respondents had unsatisfactory knowledge of UTI. The studies of Khanal et al, (2014) (45 ) and El Lawindi et al,(2015) (34) also support ourfindings.…”

Background: Urinary tract infection is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system. Lack of knowledge and unhealthy behaviors are predisposing factors of recurrent UTI. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a self-care practice health educational program for patients on urinary tract infection recurrence. Subjects and method: Design: Quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. Setting: The study was conducted in the urology department and the urology outpatient clinic at Tanta University Hospitals. Subjects: Aconvenience sampling of 80 adult patients was divided into two equal control and study groups. Tools: Four tools were used in the study. Tool (1):Structured interview schedule includes two parts, patients' socio-demographic data and patients' clinical data. Tool (II): Patients' knowledge assessment questionnaire. Tool (III):Urinary tract infection assessment tool consists of three-part; risk assessment urinary tract infection recurrence, urinary tract infection manifestation checklist, and laboratory investigations. Tool (IV):Self -Care practice assessment tool. Results: Statistically significant improvements in the total scores of knowledge and self-care practices post-program intervention were found in the study group compared with pre-intervention. The recurrence rate decreased for patients in the study group compared with the control group during follow-up. Conclusion: The educational program was effective for improving knowledge, self-care practices related to urinary tract infection which lead to a decrease in the recurrence rate. Recommendation: Implementation of a continuous educational program for patient self-care practice and preventive behaviors regarding UTI in different geographical areas.

“…Individuals with a high level of self-efficacy are also more likely to begin self-care activities, persevere in the face of adversity, and master new practices. In this context, Navarro et al (2019) discovered that self-efficacy is a primary mediator of the association between knowledge and practice. As a result, increasing selfefficacy regarding urinary tract infections during pregnancy requires special attention.…”

“…The motivation for this research and its significance stems from several existing studies. First, Navarro et al (2019) argued that pregnant women with urinary tract infections should learn about self-care practices related to the self-efficacy nursing guidelines to decrease symptoms and improve their quality of life.…”

Background:The most common bacterial infection during pregnancy is urinary tract infection, and it is the primary cause of many complications for both mother and fetus. As a result, effective management based on correct knowledge and more satisfying self-care practices are crucial to prevent these issues. The study aimed to examine the effect of applying self-efficacy nursing guidelines on pregnant women's performance regarding urinary tract infections. Method: The researcher used a quasi-experimental research design. A purposive sampling of eighty pregnant women with urinary tract infections was enrolled to study and control groups, each with forty women. The researcher conducted the research at Shebin El-Kom, Menoufia Governorate's Maternal and Child Health Centers (Quibli and Bahari). The researchers used a structured interview questionnaire, a self-care evaluation interviewing schedule, and an assessment of urinary tract infections' symptoms recovery. Results: Before applying the guidelines, more than forty percent of the pregnant women had poor knowledge and unsatisfactory performance related to self-care of urinary tract infections. In addition to two weeks and three months after the intervention, the study group had a statistically significant increase in total knowledge scores (seventy-five and sixty-five percent, respectively had good knowledge scores) and perceived self-efficacy in performing self-care practices (seventy-five and seventy-nine percent, respectively had satisfactory scores) to relieve urinary tract infection symptoms in contrast to before. However, the difference was not noticeable in the control group. Also, there was a highly statistically significant difference in the recovery of urinary tract infection symptoms as reported by pregnant women after applying the nursing guidelines. Conclusion: The self-efficacy nursing guidelines have been a successful intervention in increasing the pregnant women's knowledge and performance related to self-care of urinary tract infections to relieve symptoms of urinary tract infections. Recommendations: During antenatal follow-up visits, all pregnant women should follow the self-efficacy nursing guidelines concerning healthy practices to reduce urinary tract infections and avoid related maternal and fetal complications.
