  A questionnaire, check-list, urinanalysis, and urine culture were completed during this study. The data are presented in 30 tables. The descriptive measures were further manipulated by X2 and Fisher and Cochran tests and inference was made according to correlations.

A significant difference was not noticed between the nurse, health behavior such as menstrual protection, urination, and diet with urinary tract infection after 2 weeks of immobility in the two groups.
