Patient education for preventing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs): a systematic review
Patients presenting with urinary tract infections (UTIs) run the risk of reinfection or relapse. Effective education can bring about behavioral changes, which may reduce the prevalence of UTIs. Clinicians should consider providing educational material as a part of UTI management and prevention, and to support behavioural changes that may reduce recurrence.
