[Nursing aspects in men with urinary catheters at the Nursing Service of the District of Trento].
The whole male population with indwelling catheter of the Trento health district has been included in a survey of the quality of the home nursing services. The epidemiological and in depth analysis of the characteristics and motivation of the high degree of heterogeneity of medical prescribing behaviors and of the nursing practices suggest that an important effort of rationalization (on the basis of pre adopted protocols) is both needed and possible.
