Implementation of a nursing home urinary incontinence management program with and without tolterodine.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association·2003

Urinary incontinence affects many in long-term care, causing physical and social issues. Simple assessments and interventions can improve bladder control for residents, regardless of cognitive state.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Urology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence presents a significant challenge in long-term care facilities, impacting resident well-being and healthcare costs.
  • Impaired bladder function leads to serious secondary issues, including skin breakdown, falls, and psychological distress.

Observation:

  • Many individuals in long-term care experience urinary incontinence, affecting their quality of life.
  • Cognitive status does not preclude successful management of incontinence.

Findings:

  • Low-risk interventions can effectively cure or improve urinary continence in many residents.
  • Basic medical and environmental assessments help identify transient causes of altered bladder control.

Implications:
