Chi-square and Wilcoxon tests were performed. There were 13 CAUTI cases, with 11 cases before implementation and the other cases after implementation (p-value: 0,02). After implementation, knowledge, attitude, and behavior medical staff increased (p-value < 0,05). From the result, implementation HICPAC guideline decreases CAUTI rate and increase knowledge, attitude, and behavior significantly.
