  • Title: Prompted Voiding for Individuals With Urinary Incontinence.
    Author: Newman DK.
    Journal: J Gerontol Nurs; 2019 Feb 01; 45(2):14-26. PubMed ID: 30690650.
    Abstract:
    Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most common conditions among residents of post-acute and long-term care facilities. UI is seen in at least 55% of nursing home residents and is the second leading cause of institutionalization of older adults. UI has been shown to be an independent risk factor for unplanned hospitalization of home care individuals. Prompted voiding (PV) is a toileting program that combines scheduled voiding with "prompting" from a caregiver and is appropriate for older adults with all types of UI and in individuals who may have impaired cognitive function. The current article summarizes a guideline on the evidence for PV in individuals with UI in reducing the frequency and severity of UI episodes, increasing self-initiated requests to toilet, and preventing complications associated with UI in older adults in their homes and acute and extended care facilities.
