The association of depressive symptoms and urinary incontinence among older adults

Article Abstract:

The association of urinary incontinence (UI) and depressive symptoms (DS) among older adults has been studied in a randomized, controlled trial to find the effects of clinical practice guideline implementation on provider attitudes and behavior, and clear evidence that UI is related to DS in older adults was found. In the study were a total of 668 community-dwelling adults who had visited the one of the selected primary care providers (PCPs).

Why older community-dwelling adults do not discuss urinary incontinence with their primary care physicians

Article Abstract:

This article examines factors that prevent older adults from discussing urinary incontinence with physicians. Findings indicate that patients who choose not to discuss bladder control problems have fewer leakage accidents and bed-wetting incidents than patients who initiate discussions about incontinence with their doctors.

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether a multifaceted intervention based on the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) clinical practice guidelines for urinary incontinence (UI) would increase primary care physician screening for management of urinary incontinence. The AHCPR guidelines provide a complete approach to the evaluation and management of UI.
