Research in long-term care: what do we know, what can we use?

Urinary incontinence is a significant problem for nurses in long-term care. However, there is sufficient research to show that it is a treatable condition, Risk and associated factors have been identified. Impairments in mobility and cognition play a role in the development of incontinence and must be addressed in any strategy used to prevent incontinence from occurring in dry residents. Nurses must become comfortable in reading research reports and applying the findings to their facility. Using assessment techniques, including a voiding record and determining whether an individual is appropriate for one of the several behavioral techniques, are critical nursing actions. Administrative support including the delegation of authority and provision of resources is necessary as nurses change practice from traditional methods to evidence-based practice.
