strategies before focusing on rehabilitation. It will also raise awareness of how, just
like any other medical condition, people experiencing incontinence deserve
sympathy and attention.
In simple terms, urinary incontinence can be defined as the unintentional passing of
urine. It is a common problem that affects between three and six million people in
the UK (NHS Choices, 2015). There are approximately 14 million people in the UK
today with some form of bladder problem (Bladder and Bowel Foundation, 2015),
which means there are more people experiencing bladder problems than with
asthma, diabetes and epilepsy put together (Bladder and Bowel Foundation, 2015)
Ada kira-kira 14 juta orang di inggris menderita masalah berkemih, yang artinya
ada lebih banyak orang mengalami masalah perkemihan dari pada asma, diabetes
dan epilepsi jika digabungkan (Barrie: 2015).

incontinence in community patients.
An estimated 4%7% of women under the age of 65 years and 4%17% of women
over the age of 65 years have daily episodes of urinary incontinence (Hunskaar et
al, 2005).
Urinary incontinence can have a devastating effect on a person. The person can feel
embarrassed, ashamed, and depressed, and may even feel that his/her life is not
worth living (AguilarNavarro et al, 2012). Nurses and health professionals must be
sensitive to the persons feelings and ensure that when it is not possible to promote
continence, the urinary incontinence is managed well. Providing quality continence
care enables the person with continence problems to maintain dignity and avoid
complications such as skin damage, leakage, and embarrassment (Nazarko, 2013a)
Urinary incontinence is a symptom that should be investigated and whenever
possible treated in order to enable the person to regain continence. Sometimes, it is
not possible or appropriate to promote continence, and the focus shifts to that of
managing incontinence sensitively to enable the person to maintain dignity and
avoid the complications of poorly managed urinary incontinence.
Age-related changes to the urinary system make it more difficult for people to retain
continence as they grow older (Nazarko, 2012; Nguyen and Goldfarb, 2012:
Wehrberger et al, 2012). Adults rely on a complex system of hormonal, muscular,
and neurological controls to remain continent. In certain circumstances, these
controls are damaged. Long-term conditions such as stroke and dementia
(Shamliyan et al, 2007) and treatments for conditions like heart failure can lead to
urinary incontinence (Tannenbaum and Johnell, 2014). Around 52% of people with
Parkinsons disease experience urinary incontinence (Sammour et al, 2010).
Parkinsons disease can cause bladder problems and affect a persons mobility and
ability to use the toilet unaided (Ransmayr et al, 2008).
This is linked to severity of disease (Sammour et al, 2009). Moreover, drugs used to
treat Parkinsons disease can cause voiding difficulties and continence problems.
Around 67% of women with osteoporosis experience continence problems due to
disruption of neural pathways and mobility difficulties (Sran, 2009). Between 53%
90% of people with dementia experience urinary incontinence (Miu et al, 2010).
Stroke can affect either the frontal or brain stem micturition centres to malfunction.
The level of damage sustained is related to the severity of the stroke (Pettersen and
Wyller, 2006).
A number of people with neurological conditions become incontinent because they
become immobile and lose the ability to use the toilet unaided (Coll-Planas et al,
2008). Continence assessment should determine the cause of urinary incontinence,
if it is possible to modify the risk factors, or if containment is the most appropriate
strategy. The hopes and aspirations of the person living with incontinence should be
central to all treatment decisions (Nazarko, 2013b).

Urinary incontinence (UI) is considered a global public health problem that is
epidemiologically relevant. It isa pathology characterized by the involuntary
loss of urine and can be classified into three main types: stress urinary
incontinence (SUI) when involuntary loss of urine occurs during exertion or
exercise; urgency incontinence (UI) characterized by complaints of involuntary
urine loss immediately accompanied or preceded by urgency; and mixed
urinary incontinence (MUI) when there are complains of involuntary loss of
urine associated with urgency and efforts.
The risk factors for UI increases with advancing age, especially in women
after 70 years of age,and thus, it is important that every health professional
assisting an elderly woman, regardless of their specialty, asks the following
question: "do you have involuntary loss of urine?". This is because, in
general, patients do not mention the issue if not questioned, often by shame
or for thinking that it is a common problem of advanced age.
Ada total 25.627 artikel ditemukan terkait dengan inkontinensia urin. Dari artikel
yang ada 2.683 atau 22,1%nya adalah studi mengenai pendekatan klinik dan 3.095
atau 12%nya terkait kejadian, prevalensi dan teknik evaluasi kesehatan. Ini
menunjukan bahwa hanya sedikit penelitian mengenai intervensi secara prilaku
dengan biaya rendah baik bagi pasien maupun pelayan kesehatan (Lima, et al:
