Data was collected by trained data collectors using semi structured and pretested questionnaires. The collected data were coded and entered in to Epi info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for cleaning and analysis. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize socio demographic characteristics, reproductive health related data and to describe magnitude of service satisfaction. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the associated factors. Result: A total of 417 study subjects were included in this study with 100% response rate. The mean age was (26.04±4.45SD). About 52.0%; 95% CI (47.5; 56.4) of clients were satisfied with family planning service. No education level (AOR: 3.55; 95% CI: 1.11, 11.35), gravidity <2 (AOR: 3.5; 95% CI: 1.11, 11.35), waiting time within 30 minutes (AOR: 3.55; 95% CI: 1.11-11.35), experience on side effect of methods (AOR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.04-4.76), written information (AOR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.04, 4.76) and advised on the side effect methods (AOR: 3.1; 95% CI: 1.38, 7.09) were factors associated with client satisfaction.

Abstract: Background: Urinary catheterization is one of the most common nursing procedures which has a high probability to predispose to CAUTI and other chronic urinary problems and tendency to cause incidences of morbidity and mortality if not practiced properly with adequate knowledge. A number of studies conducted in different countries of the world to assess knowledge and practice of nurses toward Urinary Catheter Care. Hence according to their statistics, catheterization proved to be the main cause of complications and mortality of patients admitted in hospitals.

All staff nurses in the selected wards of the hospitals, were included in this study (100 staff nurses). A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding urinary catheter care and observational checklist was used to assess practices of nurses in the care of patients with urinary catheter. Data was analyzed by computing frequencies percentages and descriptive and inferential statistics, Fisher’s exact test at 95% confidence interval was used to compare scores using SPSS package version 22. Result: The study revealed that majority (68%) of the staff nurses had good level of knowledge and 32% had poor level of knowledge. And more than half (56%) of the staff nurses had good level of practice and the remaining 44% had poor level of practice. Overall 41% of the staff nurses had good level of knowledge and practice, and 17% had poor level of knowledge and practice.
