AIMS
To determine the attitudes of community-dwelling elderly patients about the possibilities for cure of urinary incontinence.
DESIGN
Cross-sectional study.
INTERVENTIONS
A specific questionnaire on urinary incontinence and the Barthel Index Modified by Shah.
LOCATION
Basic Health Zone of Cabra (Córdoba, Spain).
PATIENTS
A random age-stratified sample of 793 patients selected from a total of 5139 persons > or = 65 years of age.
MEASUREMENTS
Home interview on urinary incontinence (presence, characteristics, patient attitude regarding possibilities for cure).
PRINCIPAL RESULTS
Forty-eight percent of elderly persons felt that incontinence could be cured, 21% thought that it could be improved, 9% stated that nothing could be done about it and the remaining 22% had no opinion. A significant association was found between the type of response and age, sex, state of health as perceived by the subject and level of self-care. The presence of incontinence did not influence the nature of the responses given by patients about the possibilities for successful treatment of incontinence.
CONCLUSIONS
Our elderly persons were not aware of the possibilities for treatment of incontinence, a fact that may have a negative impact on sufferers seeking help for this remediable problem.
目的
确定社区老年患者对尿失禁治愈可能性的态度。
设计
横断面研究。
干预措施
一份关于尿失禁的特定问卷以及由沙阿修改的巴氏指数。
地点
卡布拉基本卫生区（西班牙科尔多瓦）。
患者
从5139名65岁及以上的人群中随机抽取的793名按年龄分层的样本。
测量方法
就尿失禁问题进行家庭访谈（存在情况、特征、患者对治愈可能性的态度）。
主要结果
48%的老年人认为尿失禁可以治愈，21%认为可以改善，9%表示对此无能为力，其余22%没有看法。在回答类型与年龄、性别、受试者自我感知的健康状况以及自我护理水平之间发现了显著关联。尿失禁的存在并不影响患者对尿失禁成功治疗可能性的回答性质。
结论
我们的老年人不了解尿失禁的治疗可能性，这一事实可能会对寻求解决这一可治疗问题帮助的患者产生负面影响。
