Abstract
Quality of care for residents with urinary incontinence (UI) living in nursing facilities was analyzed using data collected from 815 facilities for the Nursing Facility Quality Review in Texas. Overall, of the 1,560 residents, 48.4% (n = 755) experienced UI. The risk of developing UI over a ten-year-period in a nursing facility was 6%. Only 54% of residents with UI had a care plan for their incontinence. For those with a UI plan in their chart, 143 (35%) had a person entered UI plan developed based on that resident's voiding pattern and needs. Further, the creation of a UI plan of care by a RN for a person with UI was associated with a higher perceived level of health after controlling for gender, and age. Finally, the more satisfied the resident was with the response to their calls for help with voiding the more satisfied with the nursing facility. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
