“…Patient preferences and expectations should be part of the decision making process in managing benign and malignant disorders [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Recently, Malde et al summarized patient preferences and expectations in LUTS management and clearly showed how patient and physician perspectives may be completely different and that often patients prefer a less effective treatment but with a minor risk of AEs [ 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

The aim of our study is to review the current available knowledge regarding preferences and expectations of patients with overactive bladder (OAB). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines were followed for this manuscript’s preparation. Three online databases were searched: PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Scopus, while a combination of the following keywords was used: detrusor overactivity, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, perspectives, expectations, and preferences. Overall, 1349 studies were retrieved and screened while only 10 studies appeared to be relevant for the scope of this review. Most of the studies were related to preferences about OAB medications (i.e., antimuscarinics); four of them reported patients’ inclinations to alternative treatments in the case of medication therapy failure (i.e., neuromodulation, Botox). No data were found about diagnosis or other aspects of disease management (i.e., surgery, follow-up). Based on these findings, from the patient’s point of view, the ideal medication should be cheap, without risk of cognitive function impairment, and able to reduce daytime urinary frequency and incontinence episodes.

“…11 Female nurses who experienced night shifts demonstrated higher scores on LUTS. 12 Nurses also suffer from subjective nursing workloads, of which, stress was the most common one. 13 Stress was theoretically taken as a contributor to LUTS, 14 and the empirical evidence demonstrated that higher occupational stress would increase the odds of experiencing LUTS in female nurses.…”

Study Need and Importance: A healthy nursing workforce is the cornerstone of advancing global health, whereas lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a challenge to the healthy nursing workforce. Female nurses are more susceptible to LUTS than women in general, and this should be attributed to their demanding working environment. Nurses confront various objective and subjective nursing workloads in clinical settings, but less is known about how nursing workloads influence their LUTS. To address this research gap, this work tested the mediating role of a frequently observed behavior in nurses, delayed voiding behaviors, on the relationships between nursing workloads and their LUTS. What We Found: Data from 13,191 female nurses were analyzed, and their median age was 31 years (IQR 27-37). More than half (51%) of the nurses had LUTS; urinary urgency (26%) and stress urinary incontinence (18%) were the most common LUTS. Delayed voiding behaviors significantly mediated the relationships between nursing workloads and LUTS. Specifically, after adding delayed voiding behaviors into the model, the direct effects of objective nursing workloads (ie, working environment, working hours, and working schedule) on LUTS became nonsignificant, but the direct effect of the subjective nursing workload (ie, perceived stress) on LUTS remained significant (Figure). Limitations: This study was designed with the assumption that nurses work in a demanding working environment that has detrimental effects on their health, so the resources in the working environment that may benefit the individuals were not considered. Also, the working schedule might include multiple parameters but was simplified as night shifts in this study. Interpretation for Patient Care: Strategies tailored to delayed voiding behaviors would bring benefits for nurses' bladder health, and they may synergize stress-reducing strategies to help develop a healthy nursing workforce.
