Abstract
Bladder control problems, especially urinary incontinence (UI) and urinary freqency and urgency, are prevalent among older adults. The purpose of this project was to determine older adults' educational needs, preferred format, and interest in bladder control educational materials. Eighty-one older adults participated in focus groups conducted at senior centers, churches, and senior apartment dwellings located in Philadelphia, PA. A doctorally prepared nurse acted as the moderator, using a questionnaire that included items on general health issues and specific questions about bladder control issues. Participants showed interest in learning more about bladder control issues, discussed their preferences in relation to format for receiving health-related information, and expressed their interest in bladder control educational materials. This information can be used to devise an educational program about bladder control that is acceptable to older adults and can be easily accessed in settings where they reside or recreate.
