Support measures for community-dwelling elderly persons receiving home care based on their excretion function and assessment of caregiver capacity

本研究调查了接受家庭护理的社区尿失禁老年人的排尿状况和排尿习惯，以及他们的家庭照顾者的照顾状况，以澄清排尿习惯的相关因素，并制定支持措施。关于与老年患者直接相关的因素，与仅使用成人尿布的患者相比，在使用厕所和成人尿布的患者中，感觉到小便冲动、在转移和伴随转移的动作顺序中具有高度独立性以及能够识别并正确使用厕所的患者比例更高。没有观察到照顾者因素的显着相关性。

The present study investigated the urinary status and urination practices of community-dwelling elderly people with incontinence who are receiving home care, as well as the caregiving status of their family caregivers, in order to clarify factors related to urination practices and develop support measures . Regarding factors directly related to elderly patients, the proportion of patients who perceived the urge to urinate, who had a high degree of independence in transfers and in the sequence of movements accompanying transfers, and who could recognize and correctly use the toilet was higher among those who used a combination of the toilet and adult diapers compared to those who used only adult diapers. No significant correlations were observed for caregiver factors.
