This study aimed to investigate variables affecting subjective memory impairment in the elderly with benign prostatic hyperplasia. We used 179 survey data collected from the urology department of two metropolitan general hospitals. The subjects were patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. T-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Scheffe’s test were performed to identify differences among variables. Pearson’s correlation-coefficient and stepwise multiple regression were used to identify variables that affect subjective memory impairment. This study revealed that lower urinary tract symptom and activities of daily living were statistically significant variables, with an explanatory power of 30.0%. The lower urinary tract symptom was due to the benign prostatic hyperplasia increasing the risk of subjective memory impairment. Treatment of the lower urinary tract symptom was delayed because as the elderly got older, they increasingly recognized benign prostatic hyperplasia as a reasonable symptom. Timely intervention and early screening are necessary to prevent lower urinary tract symptom. Finally, programs to reduce the incidence of lower urinary tract symptom and educate nurses to assess, evaluate, perform intervention for subjective memory impairment should be developed.
