“…The study indicated that on average, the APNs' attitudes and perceptions were positive regarding UI. Knowledge related to UI was generally high but gaps were identified in this study, which correlates with the literature (Cooper & Watt, 2003;DuBeau, Ouslander, & Palmer, 2007;Lawhorne, Ouslander, & Parmelee, 2008;Saxer et al, 2008). Only about one-half of the study group had been taught UI in graduate school and of those, approximately one-half felt the education was not adequate.…”

“…In much of the literature, in the studies that have examined knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs about UI, most utilized participants who were undergraduate nursing students (Karlowicz, 2009), acute care or hospital-based nurses (Cooper & Watt, 2003;Vinsnes et al, 2001), community-based nurses (Yuan & Williams, 2010), or held a variety of roles in long-term care settings (DuBeau et al, 2007;Lawhorne et al, 2008;Resnick et al, 2006;Saxer et al, 2008). It is difficult to directly compare the role of the APN with these findings; however, the information can be inferred.…”

This study examined the level of knowledge and the attitudes and perceptions of advanced practice nurses (APNs) regarding urinary incontinence (UI) in older adult women. UI is a common health issue for older adult women, and APNs are in a unique position as health care providers to prevent, diagnose, treat, and manage the condition successfully. Little is known about how well APNs were educated regarding UI, especially in older adult women. Purposive sampling was utilized to conduct a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design study. Fifty-four APNs completed a questionnaire developed by the author based on the aging literature, advanced practice nursing competencies, and UI guidelines. Findings suggest that APNs generally have positive attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge of UI in women. However, participants had difficulty in applying this knowledge to the clinical setting: assessing, diagnosing, treating, and managing UI. More emphasis is needed in graduate nursing curriculums and in precepted clinical experiences regarding UI in women.

“…These difficulties are not limited to stroke services, with persistent reports of poor assessment and management 4 4 practices in generic services (Wagg, Lowe, Peel, & Potter, 2008). Nurses report difficulty in assessing, diagnosing, treating, and managing UI (Cooper & Watt, 2003;Keilman & Dunn, 2010). If not treated, incontinence will remain a distressing problem for a significant minority of patients in the longer term (Pilcher & MacArthur, 2012).…”

Implementing a Systematic Voiding Program for Patients With Urinary Incontinence After Stroke

et al. 2016

We explored health professionals' views of implementing a systematic voiding program (SVP) in a multi-site qualitative process evaluation in stroke services recruited to the intervention arms of a cluster randomized controlled feasibility trial during 2011-13. We conducted semistructured group or individual interviews with 38 purposively selected nursing, managerial and care staff involved in delivering the SVP. Content analysis of transcripts used normalization process theory as a pre-specified organization-level exploratory framework. Barriers to implementing the SVP included perceived lack of suitability for some patient groups; patient fear of extending hospital stay; and difficulties with SVP enactment, scheduling, timing, recording, and monitoring. Enablers included the guidance provided by the SVP; patient and relative involvement; extra staff; improved nursing skill and confidence; and experience of success.Three potential mechanisms of consistency, visibility, and individualization linked the SVP process with improvements in outcome, and should be emphasized in SVP implementation.
