How to manage incontinence-associated dermatitis in older adults
1Freelance tissue viability nurse and health visitor.
Abstract:
An estimated 14 million adults experience incontinence in England alone, and this population is at a very high risk of developing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). The risk associated with developing IAD is further increased among older adults, due to the effects of the ageing process, which leave the skin thinner and more fragile. Understanding the causative factors of IAD in addition to understanding the impact of IAD on the skin enable the clinician to make informed choices regarding treatment, management and prevention. Additionally, understanding the association between IAD and pressure ulcers is a critical component of IAD management, as IAD and pressure ulcers often coexist or develop alongside each other.
