The psychological treatment of incontinence in elderly patients is reviewed. It is concluded that the use of psychological methods in functional cases with non-dementing elderly patients leads to optimistic results. However, those studies which have used patients with dementia have been few and have so far led to poor results. Some of the factors associated with toiletting behaviour in the elderly and other approaches which stress the behaviour of the nurse rather than that of the patient are considered. A study is described which illustrates these principles in the case of geriatric patients with dementia who are highly dependent for their physical care.
本文综述了老年患者尿失禁的心理治疗。得出的结论是，对于非痴呆老年功能性尿失禁患者，采用心理治疗方法可取得乐观的效果。然而，针对痴呆患者的相关研究较少，且目前效果不佳。文中还探讨了一些与老年人如厕行为相关的因素，以及其他强调护士行为而非患者行为的方法。本文描述了一项研究，该研究在极度依赖他人提供身体护理的老年痴呆患者案例中阐释了这些原则。
