A comparison of Electronic Monitoring with the Standard Procedure for Managing Urinary Incontinence
This study aimed to compare the use of an electronic monitoring device for bladder training with standard care for continence management among 41 elderly patients in an acute care setting.
It was not possible to adequately test the effectiveness of electronic monitoring for bladder training due to a lack of statistical power, however trends were observed in relation to resistance to practice changes and the need to encourage alterations to existing nursing activities relative to toileting and continence management.
