“…The use of bladder scanners in LTC focuses on the needs and services for the older and often frail populations. Older adults are at higher risk for bladder dysfunction and because continence care is an important quality of life indicator for people living in LTC, it is essential for health care providers to accurately assess residents for bladder problems (Caliskan et al, 2019; Dingwall, 2008; McDaniel et al, 2020; Newman et al, 2005). The responses from participants in this study highlight their understanding of the benefit of using the bladder scanners, yet the uptake of their use is still limited in the nursing care staff’s routine practice and management of continence issues.…”

Because urinary continence is an essential indicator for quality of life for older adults in long-term care, it is important to accurately assess and treat those at risk for incontinence. This evaluation study was to increase understanding of the issues related to the implementation of bladder scanners while exploring nursing staff knowledge about continence care of older adults in long-term care settings. Using a mixed-methods design, nursing care staff (RN, LPN, Care Aide) at six long-term care homes completed a bladder care knowledge survey and participated in focus group discussions to explore continence care knowledge and use of bladder scanners to manage continence issues. Twenty-eight nursing care staff participated; findings showed continence care knowledge varied by profession, and the use of portable bladder scanners is affected by knowledge, training, and scopes of practice. Going forward, exploring scopes of practice and education are needed for effective assessment, management, and treatment of continence.

“…It was concluded from this study that the desired level of knowledge is not enough for nurse to make them able to provide satisfactory care to the patients with UI. It is necessary to have adequate knowledge when nurses are playing role as trainer or consultant in different practice fields (Caliskan, Gulnar, Aydogan, Bayram, & Yagci, 2019).…”

“…The obstacles faced by nurses in provision of urinary incontinence care were, no patient follow-up may be due to lack of education or lack of interest, patients are not stick to treatment and care plans at home, patient education material is not available and there is no proper space in hospital to evaluate patient with urinary in continence, no record keeping method, patient feel hesitate to share their sensitive issues and one of the most common and important issue was lack of knowledge and training for nursing staff. The urinary incontinence knowledge table was established by the researchers' existing literature (Caliskan, Gulnar, Aydogan, Bayram, & Yagci, 2019). Those questions measured nurses' knowledge regarding urinary incontinence and its types, drugs and diseases that lead to UI, different type of UI, intervention for UI, impact of UI on person's life and his or her personal and social relationships.…”

“…Statics revealed that about 50% of women experience UI during their life span (Yaqub, Habib, & Shaheen, 2019). Nurses play a vital role in detecting, evaluating, monitoring, and preventing patients from facing urinary incontinence (Caliskan, Gulnar, Aydogan, Bayram, & Yagci, 2019). A descriptive study accompanied amongst 756 health care providers showed that health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices are highly important to improve patients' quality of life.…”

Purpose: Nurses are personalities who stand with patients at all times to listen and solve their problems. Excellent knowledge, good practices and positive attitude of nurses proves very effective for improving patients with urinary incontinence in a mannered way. The study objective was, (a) evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices among nurses of urinary incontinence, (b) reveal the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and demographic characteristics and (c) evaluate obstacles faced by nurses during urinary incontinence care. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was accompanied in a government tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. To analysis the variables statistical packages for social sciences version 25 was used. Pearson correlation test was used to correlate the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding urinary incontinence. Less than P>0.05 is significant. Findings: 164 nurses contributed in the studies and 157 completed and return the survey questioner, with return rate of 95.7%. Of those, 117(74.5%) were female nurses and 40(25.5%) were male nurses. There is a significant correlation found between knowledge with attitude items 0.046 and knowledge with practice items 0.039. The study respondents have good knowledge, positive attitude but wrong practices regarding urinary incontinence. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It is concluded that Nurses have good knowledge, positive attitude but wrong practices that require special training or workshops to managing and treating incontinence more efficiently. This helps to bring significant improvement in urinary incontinence care and helps to lower the heath care cost. Such clinical guidelines need to be made within the organizations to manage a significant proportion of patients with urinary incontinence.

“…In another study, an important barrier in the implementation of effective incontinence treatments is the level of knowledge of the nurses concerning the assessment and treatment of UI [30]. Therefore, it is important to assess current nurses' knowledge and practice in UI care so that nurses can receive adequate training and education.…”

There is a misconception that urinary incontinence (UI) in older adults, usually above the age of 65 is a part of aging. More than 50% of residents in long-term care (LTC) settings are affected by UI and it is associated in many cases with markedly reduced quality of life. It has become evident that incontinence can be cured or successfully managed. However, many nurses lack sufficient knowledge to intervene appropriately. The purpose of this review is to share how the collaborative efforts of nurses at all levels may lead to increased assessment and interventions of UI in this population.
