Introduction: Catheter-related urinary tract infections are the most common, but preventable, health-related infections and occur mostly in patients with indwelling urinary catheters. This study aims to determine the role of nurses in infection prevention and control in urinary catheter placement. Method: The preparation of the literature review went through several stages: making a research question according to the PICOS method, and conducting a literature review using diagrams, such as identification, eligibility, screening, selection of eligibility and determination of articles according to inclusion criteria. The last stage, the review is carried out systematically using tables and taking into account the value (Joanna Brigg Institution check list) JBI. Result: Search articles using Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct databases. Screening results of 9 Google Scholar articles, 3 PubMed articles and 5 Science Direct articles. The results of a review of 17 journals on the role of nurses obtained 10 prevention journals, 4 control journals and 3 infection prevention and control journals in urinary catheter insertion. Discussion: The nurse's role in infection prevention and control in urinary catheter insertion is to make direct observations throughout the day and night shifts. Implement nurse education programs on catheter and perineal care. Evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of nurses about the catheterization procedure. Identify multidrug-resistant organisms, and remove catheters according to standards and protocols. The nurse must maintain the patient's psychological stability during catheter insertion. The bundle catheter education technique is a method of increasing the knowledge, skills and experience of nurses on infection prevention and control in catheter placement.
