Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections among women and is influenced by multiple behavioral, physiological, and hygienic factors. Young women, particularly college students, are at increased risk due to lifestyle habits and limited health awareness.

Objective: To assess the knowledge about factors affecting UTI among female management students and its association with demographic variables.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 female students (undergraduate and postgraduate) of Aditya Institute of Management Studies, Bangalore. Participants were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire covering domains of UTI knowledge, previous history, causes and prevention, and menstrual hygiene. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage) and inferential statistics (correlation analysis) were used to analyze the data.

Results: The majority of participants were aged 18-20 years (76%), unmarried (94%), and undergraduates (90%). Social media (86%) was the primary source of information on UTI. A significant positive correlation was found between age and menstrual hygiene knowledge (r = 0.336, p<0.05) and between marital status and UTI knowledge (r = 0.325, p = 0.021). Educational qualification showed no significant correlation with any domain.
