    Older adults often view incontinence as a manageable nuisance, not a life-limiting condition. They utilize various self-care strategies, with limited impact from nurses on their experience.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Urology
    • Community Health Nursing

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence is prevalent among older adults living in the community.
    • It is often perceived as a nuisance rather than a condition significantly impacting daily life.
    • Self-care practices are commonly employed to manage incontinence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore how community-dwelling older adults manage urinary incontinence.
    • To understand the lived experience of incontinence in older populations.
    • To assess the role of healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, in managing incontinence.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative study involving interviews with older adults experiencing incontinence.
    • Exploration of self-care strategies and their perceived effectiveness.

  • Inquiry into the influence of healthcare providers on incontinence management.

    • Main Results:

    • Respondents described incontinence as a manageable nuisance, rarely limiting their activities.
    • A range of self-care methods were utilized, including pads, fluid management, and timed voiding.
    • Nurses had minimal impact on the respondents' experience with incontinence.

    Conclusions:

    • Older adults actively manage incontinence through personal strategies.
    • There is a need for accessible, knowledgeable healthcare professionals and effective management products for older individuals.
    • Further research should investigate optimal nursing interventions for community-dwelling older adults with incontinence.
