Urinary incontinence significantly impacts individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). While many with MS experience incontinence, only a third sought help from a continence nurse due to various barriers.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Urology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
  • Incontinence is a common and often debilitating symptom in people with MS.
  • The impact of incontinence on quality of life for MS patients requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify incontinence issues in people with MS.
  • To assess the impact of referral to a continence adviser on their lives.
  • To understand barriers to seeking continence care.

Main Methods:

  • An in-depth, two-phase anonymous mail survey was conducted.
  • Participants were individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) within the general community.
  • Fifty-six people participated in phase 1, and eleven completed phase 2.

Main Results:

  • Incontinence affects the vast majority of people with MS surveyed.
  • One-third of eligible participants utilized continence nurse services.
  • Barriers to seeking care included perceived self-management, skepticism about help, embarrassment, and time constraints.

Conclusions:

  • Urinary incontinence is a prevalent issue for people with MS.
  • Awareness and education about available incontinence management options are crucial.
  • Targeted outreach to at-risk groups can improve access to continence care.
