In North Carolina there are approximately 34,000 residents in adult care homes (ACHs). Approximately 40% of these residents have urinary incontinence, and others require assistance with toileting. High prevalence of cognitive impairment, few licensed staff, and low staff-to-resident ratios in ACHs make behavioral techniques used in community-dwelling populations and toileting programs used in nursing homes inappropriate for these residents. This program was implemented using a two-level approach (facility and individual resident) and uses an education consultation approach for implementation.
在北卡罗来纳州，成人护理之家（ACHs）约有34000名居民。这些居民中约40%患有尿失禁，其他居民需要如厕协助。成人护理之家认知障碍患病率高、持证工作人员少且工作人员与居民的比例低，使得社区居住人群使用的行为技术和养老院使用的如厕计划不适用于这些居民。该计划采用两级方法（机构和居民个体）实施，并采用教育咨询方法进行实施。
