Download or read book The Promotion of Continence in Adult Nursing written by David Colborn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prime motivation for this book has come from my ex perience with those who suffer from incontinence and from my contact, both in the clinical area and as a teacher, with those who care for them. Over the years I have developed a pas sionate interest in the subject and there is little doubt that in general terms the level of knowledge and awareness relating to the topic has increased. Despite this it is still apparent that continence promotion remains a somewhat fringe subject, both in practice and in theory. One of the difficulties which has become clear from discussion with nurses of all grades is that they feel that the only people who are capable of mastering the practicalities of continence promotion are full time continence advisers. It is unlikely that this view has stemmed from con tinence advisers themselves (those that I know are usually very grateful for all the help that they can get), or even from a reluctance on the part of nursing staff to develop their skills. The root of the difficulty appears to be a lack of awareness on the part of nurses of the skills that are required for continence promotion and also how they can be put into practice. The aim of this book is to provide a reference text to enable all practising nurses to take an active part in continence pro motion and the appropriate management of incontinence.

Download or read book Home Health Aide On The Go In Service Lessons Vol 2 Issue 6 Urinary Incontinence written by and published by Beacon Health, a Division of Blr. This book was released on 2007-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lesson on Urinary Incontinence includes a complete training packet. Each in-service packet takes approximately one hour to complete and fully meets the Medicare in-service training requirements. As aides need training, you can make as many copies as you want - there's no restriction when used with aides assigned from your office location. Remember that Home Health Aides must have 12 hours of in-service training every year. LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: * Define urinary incontinence (UI) * List four causes of urinary incontinence * Name three basic components of a bladder re-training program * List four key points in caring for patients with urinary incontinence OVERVIEW Urinary incontinence is a widespread problem. The prevalence among older adults living in the community is estimated at 20% to 38% for women and 10% to 19% for men. Over half of the institutionalized older adults have urinary incontinence. Given the census of the average homecare agency, it is not surprising that many of the patients have some degree of urinary incontinence, particularly those who receive home health aide services. In addition to the psychosocial issues surrounding urinary incontinence, the condition is a contributing factor in several adverse events reported for home health agencies. There is an increased likelihood of falls which may lead to an increase in emergent care for falls. Incontinence predisposes a person to development of skin breakdown and urinary tract infections. In addition, one of the most commonly listed reasons for nursing home placement is urinary incontinence. Therefore, unresolved urinary incontinence could result in an unexpected nursing home admission as well. There are two Outcome-Based Quality Improvement reports (Improvement in Urinary Incontinence, Emergent Care) that could be negatively affected by the presence of urinary incontinence. Home health aides play a crucial role in helping patients improve in urinary incontinence. They also may be important in identification of patients with this condition. Since many patients are very reluctant to discuss incontinence with physicians and nurses, it may be the home health aide, assisting the patient with hygiene, who first identifies the problem. The purpose of this in-service program is to provide information that will enhance the ability of the home health aide to help patients with urinary incontinence.
