Stroke survivors ’ and carers’ experiences of a systematic voiding programme to treat urinary incontinence after stroke
ConclusionsThe effectiveness of a systematic voiding programme may partly lie in its educational component, challenging patients’ and carers’ assumptions that post‐stroke incontinence is inevitable. Individual adaptation of the programme, and the ability to incorporate it alongside other aspects of care, are likely to be key factors influencing implementation. Relevance to clinical practiceUrinary incontinence is common after stroke. In order to maximise benefits from a systematic voiding programme, nurses should support stroke survivors to overturn erroneous beliefs, to participate in tailoring of the programme, and...

Catheter washout solutions for long-term urinary catheterisation in adults: A Cochrane Review Summary
People may require long-term urinary catheterisation for a number of reasons, such as: urinary retention (incomplete emptying of the bladder) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) or prostate tumour; reduced bladder contractility; or urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) not amenable to toileting or other method of management. People with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, stroke, spina bifida, and spinal cord injury may be susceptible to these problems.

In men and women with COPD the presence of urinary incontinence is associated with poorer quality of life
Commentary on: Hrisanfow E, Hägglund D. Impact of cough and urinary incontinence on quality of life in women and men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:97–105. Implications for practice and research The combination of coughing, as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and urinary incontinence (UI), can adversely affect quality of life. Healthcare providers must actively screen for UI in patients who smoke, have a chronic cough and/or who are diagnosed with COPD, as early treatment may improve quality of life. Context It is estimated that worldwide, over 200 milli...
