Abstract

Objective : This study analyzed the characteristics, assessment, and evaluation methods of urinary incontinence (UI) intervention programs through a systematic study method.
Methods : We searched for articles in CINAHL, MEDLINE, and RISS published between 2015 and October 2020. The search phrase entered in the overseas online database was “urinary incontinence AND older adults AND exercise” OR “urinary incontinence AND older adults AND therapy” OR “urinary incontinence AND older adults AND intervention.” In the domestic online database, “Urinary Incontinence AND Elderly AND Exercise” OR “Urinary Incontinence AND Elderly AND Treatment” OR “Urinary Incontinence AND Elderly AND Intervention” was used. A total of 169 papers were searched, and six domestic and foreign papers were selected according to the selection and exclusion criteria.
Results : The level of evidence for the selected papers was Level I for 2, Level II for 1, Level III for 2, and Level V for the 1. The age of the subjects were 70-75 years old in 3 cases, 75-80 years old in 1 case, and 80 years old or older in 1 case. The applied UI interventions varied, including pelvic floor muscle exercise, urinary incontinence training programs, and lower extremity strength exercise. Evaluation tools and methods used had the highest frequency in the bladder diary.
Conclusions : This study confirms the diversity in urinary incontinence intervention programs for the elderly. This suggests the necessity for popularization of UI intervention and management programs for the increasing elderly population. Our findings can be used as basic data for further research on UI intervention programs.
