Efficacy of Prompted Voiding Therapy in Elderly Hospitalized.

Efficacy of Prompted Voiding Therapy for Reverse the Urinary Incontinence Status in Elderly Patients Hospitalized in a Functional Recovery Ward.

This study evaluates effectiveness to apply prompted voiding in urinary incontinence and dependence patients admitted at functional recovery ward in a mid-stay hospital. This behavioural therapy is recommended in Best Practice Guidelines, and it has good results in elderly living in the community or in nursing home but yet it has not shown his benefits in hospitalized elderly patients for a long time.

The increased level of chronic diseases, greater chances of survival and older people hospitalized, place the Urinary Incontinence (UI) problem in a priority position both in hospital and community care. Guadarrama (Public Madrid Health Service) is a medium-stay Hospital. It makes treatment to recover from acute disease and UI has 80% prevalence at admitted patients. Main objective:To assess the efficacy of Prompted Voiding (PV) therapy for reverse of UI status in elderly patients hospitalized in a Functional Recovery Ward. (FRW) Methods: Experimental research pre/post-Intervention, with 5 repeated measures data: baseline (preintervention); at discharge, at one, three and six months after discharge (post-intervention). Sample size is 212 admitted patients in the FRW with UI. Prompted voiding intervention will be applied by nursing team following the procedure hospital approved and it will be individualized to each patient. Main Outcome: urinary continence (YES/NO), others outcomes: amount and frequency of urine loss, type of incontinence pads; follow-up: urinary continence at one, three, and six months after discharge. Applicability: Incorporating Prompted Voiding Therapy in UI patients care, encouraging global care, relevant implications for reduce the morbidity, improvement the quality of life, decrease health costs.

Recruitment, 3-day voiding record, initiate a individualized prompted voiding schedule based on the client's toileting needs until discharge, 1, 3 and 6 month follow-up post-discharge.

Monitoring: This involves asking the incontinent individual, at regular intervals, if he or she needs to use the toilet. The care provider may look for behaviours that the client needs to be toileted (e.g., restlessness, agitation, disrobing), and take the client to the toilet at regular intervals specific to their schedule, rather than routinely every two hours. Prompting: This process includes prompting the person to use the toilet at regular intervals, and encourages the maintenance of bladder control between prompted voiding sessions. Praising: This important step is the positive reinforcement of dryness and appropriate toileting, and is the response from the care provider to the individual's success with maintaining bladder control.

To value the efficacy of prompted voiding therapy to recovery urinary continence in elderly hospitalized at functional recovery ward. Data wil be collected from nursing assessment at admission, at discharge and telephone call.

To value the efficacy of prompted voiding therapy to improve urinary incontinence episodes/symptoms (episodes frequency, volume loss, type pad used) in elderly hospitalized at functional recovery ward. It Will be measure with assistance nurse record.
