  • Title: Urinary incontinence in a vulnerable population: older women.
    Author: Criner JA.
    Journal: Semin Perioper Nurs; 2001 Jan; 10(1):33-7. PubMed ID: 15129504.
    Abstract:
    Urinary incontinence creates a tremendous hardship on older women and results in social isolation, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and decreased life satisfaction. Stress, urge, overflow, and functional incontinence can be treated by behavioral methods, medications, or invasive techniques. The nurse should complete a health history before making an informed decision with the older women about the most appropriate treatment plan. There can be improved quality of life for women with incontinence if health care providers focus on this problem.
