  • Title: Behavioral management for bladder control: response in selected rural residential care homes.
    Author: Pfister SM, Dougherty MC.
    Journal: J Community Health Nurs; 1994; 11(3):155-64. PubMed ID: 7964934.
    Abstract:
    Urinary incontinence is a problem for elders in many settings, including rural residential care homes (RCHs). Behavioral techniques for the management of urinary incontinence have been successful with community-dwelling and nursing home populations. A study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of implementing bladder diaries and bladder training to assist RCH residents with bladder control. These techniques were found not to be successful in selected rural RCHs. The characteristics of rural RCHs are explored, and the impediments and incentives to the use of behavioral management techniques for urinary incontinence in these settings are examined.
