“…This suggests that UI cannot be adequately treated without consideration of a patient's overall quality of life 9 . However, studies on the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life in older Korean women are lacking, despite numerous clinical observations supporting its negative influence 10 . The purposes of this study were to investigate the prevalence of UI and to compare the prevalence of psychological symptoms (depression, stress, and self-esteem) according to the presence or absence of UI.…”

The objectives were to investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its relationships with depression, stress, and self-esteem in older Korean women from the Korean Study of Women’s Health Related Issues (K-Stori), a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. A total of 3000 women between 65 and 79 years were the final study subjects. We applied multiple linear regression models to analyze associations with depression, stress, and self-esteem levels in relation to UI types. Types of urinary incontinence included stress, urge, and mixed UI. UI affects at least one in two older Korean women (52.2%). The prevalences of SUI, UUI, and MUI were 45.7%, 39.6%, and 33.1%, respectively. UI was found to be adversely associated with depression, stress, and self-esteem: women with UI reported significantly higher levels of depression and stress and lower levels of self-esteem than those without UI. Women with MUI reported significantly greater impairment than the women with SUI or UUI. Our results provide an evidence base for the evaluation of mental health in older women with incontinence. The prioritization of UI detection and the identification of psychological factors may help improve the diagnosis and management of UI and potentially yield significant economic and psychosocial benefits.

“…Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of crucial problem among older people, 1 although many consider UI to be natural, 2 in contrast indirectly, UI will have a significant impact on individual self‐concept 3 and quality of life among older people 4 . The UI is experienced by nearly 60% of older people in nursing homes and 10% to 15% of men and 20% to 35% of women over the age of 60 years 5 .…”

Research question: What are the influences of prompted voiding (PV) for urinary incontinence (UI) among older people in nursing homes? Research problem: This study aims to evaluate the effects of PV for UI of older people's subjects in nursing homes. Management of UI among older people is needed to overcome the possibility of new problem for older people. A randomized controlled study was performed of pre‐test post‐test design for 12 subjects (6 of control and 6 of intervention group). An intervention group followed PV instructions for 24 hours during 28 days, while the control group was instructed to urinate in toilet or to use diapers. Outcome variables were measured using incontinence severity index (ISI). There was statistically significant main effect across ISI among intervention group pre‐ (8.67 ± 1.97) and post‐ (6.67 ± 2.73) intervention of PV (P = .007). While there was statistically significant differenced ISI between control and intervention group (9.67 ± 1.86 vs 6.67 ± 2.73) post‐intervention of PV (P = .005). There was higher reduced ISI in the intervention group (∆M −2.00 ± 1.09) after 28 days of PV (P = .001). PV could be used to increase the older people's initiative to go to toilet and decrease incontinence episodes during a short time by their self in the nursing home.
