Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Continence Care
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Effective continence service provision relies on funding, organization, and expert knowledge.
  • Undergraduate education for nurses, doctors, and physiotherapists in continence care is limited.
  • Nurses often gain continence knowledge through experience and trial-and-error, with limited understanding of advanced postgraduate education effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a continence education module designed to prepare specialist nurses for high-standard, safe, and effective continence care.
  • To evaluate the module's impact on continence knowledge, attitudes towards research, and acceptability.
  • To inform the educational preparation of nurses in new nurse-led continence services.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized continence education module.
  • Evaluation of the module within the Leicestershire Medical Research Council (MRC) Incontinence Study.
  • Exploration of changes in continence knowledge, research attitudes, and module acceptability.

Main Results:

  • The continence education module was developed and evaluated.
  • Changes in specialist nurses' continence knowledge and attitudes were assessed.
  • The acceptability of the educational module was explored.

Conclusions:

  • The developed module prepares specialist nurses to provide safe and effective continence care.
  • Systematic detailing of educational preparation is crucial for establishing new nurse-led continence services.
  • Discussion of module design and implementation challenges can inform future educational initiatives.
