Abstract
Identifying the prevalence of Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), Urge urinary incontinence (UUI), Functional urinary incontinence (FUI), Overflow urinary incontinence (OUI) and Reflex urinary incontinence (RUI) nursing diagnoses and their defining characteristics in stroke patients. A cross-sectional study with 156 patients treated in a neurological clinic. Data were collected through interviews and forwarded to nurses for diagnostic inference. 92.3% of the patients had at least one of the studied diagnoses; OUI showed the highest prevalence (72.4%), followed by FUI (53.2%), RUI (50.0%), UUI (41.0%) and SUI (37.8%). Overdistended bladder and reports of inability to reach the toilet in time to avoid urine loss were the most prevalent defining characteristics. A statistically significant association of the defining characteristics with the studied diagnosis was verified. The five incontinence diagnoses were identified in the evaluated patients, with different prevalence.
Highlights
Urinary incontinence Nursing Diagnoses are included in NANDA International, Inc. (NANDA-I) in Domain 3: Elimination and Exchange, Class 1: Urinary Function(1)
Five of these are presented as the real diagnosis for incontinence, which are: Stress urinary incontinence (00017), Urge urinary incontinence (00019), Functional urinary incontinence (00020), Overflow urinary incontinence (00176) and Reflex urinary incontinence (00018)(1)
The parameters for calculating the sample were: confidence level of 95% (Zα), sampling error of 7%, and the prevalence was based on a study(11) that had a value of 27% for the nursing diagnosis of Stress urinary incontinence
