Effects of prompted voiding on fecal continence among nursing home residents.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:To determine the effects of prompted voiding on fecal continence in nursing home residents. DESIGN:Prospective, uncontrolled trial of prompted voiding for urinary incontinence. PARTICIPANTS:One hundred sixty-five nursing home residents who completed a 9 to 10-week trial. MEASUREMENTS:Trained research aides performed physical checks for urinary and fecal incontinence hourly from 8 AM to 6 PM for 3 days (total of 33 checks) at baseline, for the last 3 days of a 1-week trial of prompted voiding, and after 9 to 10 weeks of prompted voiding. RESULTS:After 9 to 10 weeks of prompted voiding, there was no significant change in the frequency of incontinent bowel movements per resident (1.1 [95% CI.83, 1.4] to .87 [95% CI.67, 1.1]; P = 0.140). There was a significant increase in the number of continent bowel movements per resident (.17 [95% CI.10, .24] to .62 [95% CI.45, .80]; P = .000). This increase occurred in residents whose urinary incontinence responded well to prompted voiding as well as those whose urinary incontinence did no respond. The percentage of bowel movements that were continent also increased significantly from 18% (95% CI 8,29) at baseline to 45% (95% CI 32,57) after 9 to 10 weeks of intervention (P = .000). In addition to these findings, we noted a marked increase in the total frequency of bowel movements after the first week of prompted voiding. This may have resulted from the relief of fecal impactions caused by the increased toileting, mobility, and fluid intake that occurred with prompted voiding. CONCLUSION:Prompted voiding did not change the frequency of incontinent bowel movements significantly in this sample of nursing home residents. However, the number of continent bowel movements and the percentage of bowel movements that were continent did increase. Our data must be interpreted cautiously because our study was designed primarily as an intervention for urinary, not fecal, incontinence and the design was neither blinded nor controlled. Trials of systematic toileting schedules specifically directed at fecal incontinence, with attention to fecal impaction, diet, fluid intake and laxative use, should be conducted.
