Sammanfattning
The aim of the present study was
to investigate if a personal toiletplan
improves continence in cognitively
impaired elderly residents,
and describe the consumption
of resources.
A quasi-experimental design was
used with the patients being their
own control group, measured
before and after the intervention.
The subjects were five residents
in a small nursing home unit with
a mean age of 85.8 years. The
amount of urine leakage, fluid
and materials were monitored for
48 hours. The nursing time spent
for toilet-assistance was monitored
twice for each resident in
both test-periods. Part of the
Resident Assessment Instrument
(RAI) and other instruments
developed for monitoring resources
and incontinence status was
used in data collection.
Urinary incontinence was decreased
during three weeks with 44
% in the whole group (n=5). Four
of the residents showed an improvement
diurnal over baseline
from 38 % to 100 %. The average
nursing time spent daily on assisting
a resident to the toilet increased
with 35.1 minutes (n=5).
The consumption of material was
about the same.
