The current study operationalized, assessed, and evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effects of implementing a person-centered approach to incontinence care for older adults with cognitive decline in residential care facilities (RCFs) in Sweden. Twenty health care workers were purposively sampled from two intervention RCFs. Process outcome was measured as number of assessments conducted for incontinence management. Impact outcome measures were quality of life, basal assessment of incontinence, incontinence actions taken, and personally chosen incontinence aids. A usual care control group RCF was matched by resident case-mix and geographic region. Introduction of a person-centered approach showed an increase in residents' quality of life in the intervention group compared to baseline and the control group. A positive effect was found on the number of urinary incontinence assessments conducted (p < 0.05). In addition, the number of person-centered caring actions (e.g., toilet assistance) was significantly higher during and 6 months after implementation of the person-centered approach. Implementing a person-centered approach in clinical practice focused on incontinence care, quality of care, and quality of life is supported for RCF residents.

本研究对瑞典养老院中认知功能下降的老年人实施以患者为中心的失禁护理方法的可行性和初步效果进行了操作化、评估和评价。从两个干预养老院中有意抽取了20名医护人员。过程结果以失禁管理评估次数来衡量。影响结果指标包括生活质量、失禁基础评估、采取的失禁措施以及个人选择的失禁辅助器具。一个常规护理对照组养老院按居民病例组合和地理区域进行匹配。与基线和对照组相比,干预组引入以患者为中心的方法后居民生活质量有所提高。在进行的尿失禁评估次数上发现了积极效果(p < 0.05)。此外,在实施以患者为中心的方法期间及之后6个月,以患者为中心的护理行为(如如厕协助)的次数显著更高。对于养老院居民,支持在以失禁护理、护理质量和生活质量为重点的临床实践中实施以患者为中心的方法。[《老年护理杂志》,44(11),10 - 19。]
