Objective To explore the current status of nursing researches about catheter-related infections in recent 5 years in China, and provide reference for further research.Methods The China National Knowledge Infrastructure database and Wangfang database were selected to search for literature about catheter-related infections published in recent 5 years in 10 nursing journals of Statistic Source, with the terms of " catheter-related bloodstream infection” or " ventilator-associated pneumonia” or " catheter-related urinary tract infection”. Statistical analysis was conducted.Results A total of 216 papers were included. The number of papers was not increased year by year. In terms of the object of study, the studies on ventilator-associated pneumonia were the most, accounting for 71.3%. Only 36.5% of the studies had accurate diagnostic criteria. In terms of the type of study, experimental studies were the most (109 articles). The content was concentrated on the best practice intervention studies (149 articles). The data collection methods gave priority to active surveillance/screening, including 113 articles.Conclusions The present focused attention is not enough to the researches about catheter-related infections in nursing field, and rigorous design is lacking in published studies. There are only a few nursing studies about catheter-related infections with high quality and high level of evidence. The quantity and quality of nursing researches about catheter-related infections still need to be improved. Nurses should pay more attention to the control and prevention of catheter-related infections, and should improve their research capacity.
