Activity Description

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. This condition is prevalent in older adults but can also affect younger adults and significantly impacts both health and quality of life. The 5 main types include stress, urge, mixed, overflow, and functional incontinence. Possible treatments include lifestyle adjustments, physical therapy, pelvic floor exercises, fluid management strategies, prompted voiding, biofeedback, catheters (intermittent or permanent), pads, pharmaceuticals, botulinum toxin injections, sacral neuromodulation, bedside suction devices, and numerous procedures, including male and female slings, artificial sphincters, and prostate surgery.

This activity reviews the different types of urinary incontinence, effective screening practices, and evidence-based management strategies. Participants gain comprehensive knowledge of the latest diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities, enabling them to provide improved patient care. Clinicians also learn about the psychosocial aspects of the condition and how to address them, enhancing their ability to support patients holistically. This activity also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients with urinary incontinence, leading to better clinical outcomes and improved quality of life for individuals affected by urinary incontinence.
