  • Title: Continence care is every nurse's business.
    Author: Booth J.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 109(17-18):12, 14, 16. PubMed ID: 23741907.
    Abstract:
    Maintaining continence lies at the heart of a sense of adulthood and is essential to preserving dignity, a core and universal nursing value. This article explores the reasons why poor continence care was found at Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, the changes to the culture of the health service that led to it, and why it is so important for nurses to maintain patients' dignity. Recommendations for changing this culture in the future are discussed.
