The objective of this study was to verify the strategies that nurses use to manage urinary incontinence (UI) in the elderly. An integrative literature review was performed on the following databases: WEB OF SCIENCE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS and CINAHL, in the period from 2006 to 2010. A total of 186 articles were located, and after excluding duplicates and performing a careful reading of the full articles, the sample was comprised of seven articles. Most studies utilize an overall approach to urinary incontinence, without characterizing the type or the subjects' claims. Only one study addressed the management of urinary incontinence in the elderly with dementia; another specified the type (hyperactive bladder). Therefore, there is a need for further clinical nursing studies regarding the management of urinary incontinence, aiming to provide scientific evidence to support this practice.
本研究的目的是验证护士用于管理老年人尿失禁（UI）的策略。在2006年至2010年期间，对以下数据库进行了综合文献综述：科学网、医学期刊数据库、Scopus数据库和护理学与健康领域数据库。共检索到186篇文章，在排除重复项并仔细阅读全文后，样本包括7篇文章。大多数研究采用整体方法来研究尿失禁，未对类型或受试者的主诉进行特征描述。只有一项研究涉及痴呆老年人尿失禁的管理；另一项研究明确了类型（膀胱过度活动症）。因此，需要进一步开展关于尿失禁管理的临床护理研究，旨在提供科学证据以支持这一实践。
