Background: Bladder dysfunction can affect up to 75% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) on several important life domains. It is a multifaceted problem that remains underdiagnosed by health-care professionals. The aims of this study were to understand the perceptions of Irish health-care professionals regarding bladder dysfunction and to explore current service provision for people with MS. Methods: Two focus groups, three dyadic interviews, and one semistructured interview with 14 health-care professionals lasting up to 90 minutes were audio-recorded. Participants included eight physiotherapists, two occupational therapists, three nurses, and one clinical case manager from acute and community settings. Results: Thematic analysis of transcripts yielded two key themes. The first theme involves the underlying beliefs of health-care professionals, their clinical practice, and experiential knowledge in the model of clinical practice development in relation to bladder management. The second theme addresses the pivotal points in this model where change can be implemented to optimize bladder management. The first element of change encompasses the interaction between clinical practice and experiential knowledge of health-care professionals. The second element of change incorporates how acknowledgment of individual beliefs of health-care professionals can further inform clinical practice and experiential knowledge. Conclusions: These findings suggest that health-care professionals need to be aware of their beliefs in relation to bladder dysfunction. Examining these beliefs may influence how people with MS access health service provision for this disabling symptom. This type of reflexive practice may facilitate changes to existing perceptions and reduce the reluctance to discuss bladder symptoms.
