The impact of continence problems on self-esteem

Article Abstract:

Enuresis can be particularly difficult for young people, not only as a practical problem but it can also has implications in the whole of their lives. Research found middle-aged sufferers were unwilling to discuss their problem even with other sufferers. People suffering from enuresis often feel disgusted, ashamed and guilty for having the problem. Research has found continence problems may exist into around 57% of women aged 45 years to 65 years. A study into the psychological affects of enuresis in children found their self value was less than both chronically ill and fit children.

Article Abstract:

A questionnaire by the Incontinence Information Bureau found that although 90% of respondents had continence problems, 10% of the questionnaires were completed by their relatives or carers. Many had problems with bladder control during the day and those with stress incontinence were the least likely to consult a doctor.

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted on the development of an acute phase continence assessment tool that is to be completed within 24 hours of a patient's admission following a stroke.
