    Single-case research designs effectively generate nursing knowledge. This study demonstrates their value by testing incontinence pads on elderly women with cognitive impairments.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Clinical Research Methodology

    Background:

    • Generating robust nursing knowledge is crucial for evidence-based practice.
    • Single-case research designs (SCRDs) offer a potential avenue for knowledge generation in specialized nursing contexts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of single-case research designs in advancing nursing knowledge.
    • To demonstrate the application of SCRDs in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • The study employed single-case research designs.
    • A range of body-worn incontinence pads were tested.
    • Participants included cognitively impaired elderly women in two clinical settings.

    Main Results:

    • Single-case research designs proved valuable for generating nursing knowledge in this context.
