    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Urology
    • Nursing

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition impacting patient quality of life.
    • Effective management in acute care settings is essential for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in an acute care setting.
    • To examine current approaches to UI management within this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective audit of hospital charts for patients with a UI diagnosis.
    • Data collection focused on demographics, related factors, UTIs, and nursing interventions.
    • High interrater reliability (100%) ensured data accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • A prevalence of 0.87% for diagnosed UI was identified; an additional 13% were noted only in nurses' records.
    • Nursing comfort measures were the predominant management strategy.
    • Bladder training and discharge planning were infrequently utilized.

    Conclusions:

    • Urinary incontinence (UI) diagnosis and treatment efforts should encompass all age groups.
    • Standardized nursing protocols for assessment, documentation, and discharge planning are needed in acute care.
    • Implementation of improved UI management protocols can enhance patient care.
