PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine nursing students' knowledge about and attitudes toward patients with urinary incontinence. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The sample comprised 392 nursing students from 5 educational institutions in Hong Kong; all participants were enrolled in year 4 or 5 of their undergraduate nursing program, and all had completed formal education on urinary incontinence and clinical experience caring for patients with urinary incontinence. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in February 2017. Participants completed a 55-item questionnaire that included items querying demographic and pertinent professional background information, along with 2 validated instruments: the Urinary Incontinence Knowledge Scale (UIKS) and the Urinary Incontinence Attitude Scale (UIAS). Analysis of variance was performed to compare the differences in scores among nursing students based on demographic or educational background. Pearson's correlation coefficient or χ2 was used to examine the relationships between variables and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify the predictors of attitude toward urinary incontinence. RESULTS: Urinary incontinence knowledge was moderate (mean 22.0/30, SD 4.4) and attitudes about urinary incontinence were positive (mean 41.6/60, SD 4.5). There was a significant correlation between attitudes and knowledge (r = 0.175, P = .001), institution at which the students received training (χ2 = 161.790, P = .000), and the experience of having taken a course that included instruction about urinary incontinence (χ2 = 37.707, P = .014). Regression analysis revealed that knowledge and institution were predictors of attitudes. Participants reported high level of interest in learning more about urinary incontinence (71.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Nursing students residing in Hong Kong have a moderate level of knowledge and positive attitude toward urinary incontinence. This study suggests that educational institution and specific instruction about urinary incontinence play key roles in developing positive attitudes toward caring for patients with urinary incontinence.

The mediating factors in the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and health-related quality of life

et al. 2017

ObjectivesAn earlier study found that mental health partially mediates the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) severity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In other words, LUTS adversely affects mental health, which in turn adversely affects HRQOL. A major limitation of the previous study was its cross-sectional design. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether changes in mental health mediated the association between changes in the severity of LUTS and changes in HRQOL over 24 months by using Baron and Kenny’s regression procedure and Preacher and Hayes’s bootstrapping method.ResultsWe found that changes in mental health were a mediator in the relationship between the change of LUTS severity and the change of LUTS-specific HRQOL. Changes in LUTS severity lead to changes in mental health, which in turn affects the change of LUTS-specific HRQOL. It was observed however that changes in mental health did not mediate the relationship between the change of LUTS severity and the change of the physical aspects of generic HRQOL. These findings suggest that in order to optimize LUTS-specific HRQOL, both LUTS severity and mental health may need to be addressed concurrently.

Objective: To understand Primary Health Care nurses’ role in treating Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction. Method: Cross-sectional multi-methodological research, composed of quantitative and qualitative steps, independently and sequentially. Data collected remotely, through a questionnaire and focus group, analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke, respectively. The project was approved under Opinion 22691119.0.0000.0030. Results: A total of 145 nurses participated in the study in the quantitative step and 20 in the qualitative step, working in Primary Health Care in Brazil. Of the 93.1% nurses who reported having already cared for people with Urinary Tract Dysfunction, only 54.4% provided guidance, mainly for training the pelvic floor muscles. Conclusion: Even though they have legal support and access to demand, nurses do not have the knowledge to offer conservative treatment for Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction. Despite this, they were motivated to do so as long as they received specific training.
