Abstract

To test a behavioral approach for urinary incontinence (UI), 166 staff in four nursing homes participated in a quasi-experimental study that measured knowledge and attitudes about UI and compliance with toileting protocols. The intervention group (N = 96) showed a slight increase in knowledge; their attitudes remained positive over the four testing times. Compliance with the more critical component of the toileting protocol was only 72%, although evidence existed that the protocol reduced UI. Results are discussed in terms of the sociocultural environment of nursing homes.
