“…The expected embarrassment and the possible threat to masculinity caused by disclosing one's urinary symptoms and their associated problems, especially erectile dysfunction (ED) problems, might also account for their silence. Previous research has highlighted the importance of self-management strategies and interventions to improve the quality of life of people with urinary problems [26,55]. However, from a psychological perspective, related education workshops and campaigns to reduce the potential maladaptive cognitive beliefs about urinary problems and their symptoms are needed in order to promote help-seeking behaviours and early treatment for urinary problems [17].…”

Distress Due to Urinary Problems and Psychosocial Correlates among Retired Men in Hong Kong

Urinary problems are common among aging men, but there is a paucity of research efforts to understand the psychosocial aspects of the illness. This study aims to understand how common and distressing urinary problems are for newly retired men in Hong Kong and to test the associations between mental health, self-stigma of seeking help, fatigue, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and distress due to urinary problems. To assess this, 139 out of 200 members of a retired men’s social club (mean age 63.5) were successfully interviewed. Two-fifths of the participants felt distressed due to their urinary problems and one-third of the participants had been troubled by urinary incontinence or nocturia in the past six months. Yet the majority of the participants (55%) did not seek help from any medical profession. The group who were distressed by urinary problems showed significantly poorer mental health, reported more fatigue symptoms, were less satisfied with their sexual relationships and overall self-esteem, and were less able to stop unpleasant thoughts or to get social support than the non-distressed group. Cultural perceptions of masculinity and decreased sexual vigor might have affected participants’ willingness to seek help at an early stage. Targeted health education, mutual support groups, and sensitively designed services at the community level are suggested to address these physical and mental health issues.

“…In Oklahoma there has been limited research on the statewide older population with only one article focusing on health promotion services and urinary incontinence (McFall, Yerkes, & Cowan, 2000). The remaining articles focused specifically on Native American education program such as using talking circles for breast health education and using the multidimensional health locus of control to improve education in the state (Egan et al, 2009; Haozous, Eschiti, Lauderdale, Hill, & Amos, 2010).…”

The growing senior population and persistent poor health status of seniors in Oklahoma compels a fresh look at what health promotion services would be well received. Surveys were distributed to a list of registered voters age 65 and older in Oklahoma with a total of 1,248 surveys returned (19.8%). Survey items asked about interests in services, classes, and activities, plus current barriers to accessing and/or engaging in such programs. To account for survey weighting, Rao-Scott Chi-Square Tests were performed to determine differences by demographic characteristics. We identified services, classes, and activities that were (and were not) of interest to seniors in Oklahoma with legal assistance (52.1%), exercise classes (46.6%), internet classes (40.7%), and indoor exercise activities (45.5%) receiving the highest level of interest. Barriers to interest in participating in programs included not wanting to go and not knowing availability of such services. The results of this survey provide useful data on health promotion gaps for seniors, interests and barriers to engaging in such activities, and guidance for statewide program development. Future program development needs to be focused on areas of interest for older adults, including legal assistance, exercise classes, and internet classes.

Outcomes of a Small Group Educational Intervention for Urinary Incontinence

Abstract: The intervention affected condition-specific quality of life and self-management but not general HRQL. The intervention's impact on quality of life involves change in how the condition is seen as impacting on life and on selection of self-management behaviors.
