“…Urinary symptoms are associated with disability and are reported to have a considerable impact on the lives of stroke survivors [6,7,8,9]. Urinary incontinence has been reported in 47% of the stroke patients in the acute phase and in 19% of the patients at 6-month follow-up [5].…”

Background: Bladder dysfunction is common in stroke patients and it has a considerable impact on their lives. The objective of this study was to investigate the frequencies of urine storage and emptying disorders in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients with persistent bladder dysfunction. Methods: A total of 48 stroke patients who underwent urodynamic tests because of persistent bladder dysfunction were evaluated retrospectively. Urine storage and emptying disorder frequencies were determined and compared in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke subgroups. Results:Storage disorder frequencies were 73.3 and 63.6% in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke groups, respectively (p > 0.05), while emptying disorder frequencies were 13.3 and 51.5% (p < 0.02). Conclusions: Evaluation of the stroke type may be helpful in the determination of the type of urinary dysfunction and in choosing the appropriate bladder management strategy, but further studies with larger sample sizes are needed.

“…For instance, the conserving function means that nurses work with the patient to reach and maintain his/her normal daily activities, to prevent complications and traumas and to meet the patient's basic needs (3). In geriatric rehabilitation key tasks for the nurse include the prevention of pressure ulcers (14) and incontinence (15, 16).…”

This study describes Registered Nurses' perceptions of geriatric rehabilitation nursing as well as their experiences of working in the rehabilitation of older patients in Denmark, Finland and Norway. The aim was to gain deeper insights into how Registered Nurses think about geriatric rehabilitation nursing and how their perceptions differ in these countries. The data were collected among 600 Registered Nurses using a structured questionnaire with five background items and 88 geriatric rehabilitation nursing items. The response rate was 65%. Data analysis was with SPSS statistical software. Geriatric rehabilitation nursing was experienced as something that required knowledge and experience, patience and creativity, as well as professional skills. The nurses talked with their patients about their rehabilitation goals, but not all nurses were aware of those goals. Progress in the rehabilitation process was evaluated on a daily basis and results were noted in the patients' records. The nurses motivated patients by giving them positive feedback, by preventing pain, by pausing to share with the patients their joy about progress, and by giving the patients the opportunity to cope with daily activities. The Registered Nurses in Denmark were more team oriented and they set out the goals in the patient's records more often than their colleagues did in Finland and Norway.
