Background: In institutionalized elderly people, urinary tract infections are the most common, involving 12% to 30% of this population, with at least one episode per year, where several risk factors influence their occurrence.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of urinary tract infections in older people institutionalized in a private institution of social solidarity and to identify the risk factors.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, observational, and epidemiological study conducted on a convenience sample of people who are institutionalized in a private institution of social solidarity and belong to three different services. Data was collected over 8 months, and the number of patients in the different services was recorded (n = 171).
Results: The institution had a urinary tract infection prevalence of 18.1%. Although more cases occurred in women (p = 0.641) and people older than 75 years (p = 0.269), there were no significant differences. Location of hospitalization was identified as a risk factor for developing a urinary tract infection (p = 0.024).
Conclusion: Out of the 171 people who were institutionalized, 31 developed a urinary tract infection. It is important to adopt educational and preventive measures.
