Résumé
This project aimed to implement best practices for pelvic floor muscle training to manage urinary incontinence among older women in long-term care in Kerala, India. Urinary incontinence is a prevalent and distressing condition that affects a significant proportion of older adults and is characterized by involuntary loss of urine, leading to social embarrassment, decreased quality of life, and increased health care costs. It is more prevalent in women and is associated with dementia, limited mobility, and other comorbidities in long-term care. Pelvic floor muscle training is a first-line treatment option for urinary incontinence in older adults, given its potential to improve quality of life and reduce health care costs. This project was based on the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. A baseline audit was conducted to evaluate current practice against best practices. After identifying barriers and implementing strategies, follow-up audits were conducted after 3 and 6 months. The baseline audit showed 0% compliance with all best practices. Barriers such as lack of knowledge and practice of pelvic floor exercises for urinary incontinence among participants and nurses; unknown cognitive status; and health emergencies were identified. Strategies including video-assisted training of pelvic floor muscle exercises, training calendars, and flip charts with instructions. The follow-up audits showed significant improvements in compliance. This project reduced urinary incontinence in the participants. Although two of the audit criteria did not reach 100% compliance by the end of 6 months, the stakeholders of the long-term care facility understood the importance of pelvic floor muscle training, which will be beneficial for future residents with urinary incontinence. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A211.
