Definition Of

The current definition of overactive bladder (OAB) is “urgency,with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency andnocturia in the absence of an underlying metabolic or pathologiccondition.” Urgency, in turn, is defined as a “sudden, compellingdesire to pass urine that is difficult to defer.” While these definitionsprovide the framework for making a clinical diagnosis ofOAB, they rely on subjective assessment of the symptoms by thepatient. As well, the symptoms of OAB can be similar to thoseseen in other conditions, such as urinary tract infection, benignprostatic enlargement and bladder cancer. These other potentialdiagnoses should be ruled out in a noninvasive manner beforemaking a diagnosis of OAB.

The Uk

More than 90 000 of the UK adult population are estimated to have a urinary catheter, with 24% likely to develop symptoms of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). The consequences of having a CAUTI are reduced quality of life, risk of hospitalisation and increased mortality. The authors undertook a literature review of primary research studies to identify how nurses could support patients to maintain effective catheter care to reduce the risk of CAUTI. Four themes emerged: education, knowledge, empowerment and communication. The authors therefore conclude that consistent knowledge, clear communication and treating patients as partners in the decision-making process can help build trust and allow empower patients. This will enable patients to make safe and healthy decisions about their catheter, particularly with regard to personal hygiene and optimal fluid intake, to reducing the risk of CAUTI.

The Uk

Urinary incontinence is a condition in which involuntary loss of urine is objectively demonstrated and results in a social or hygienic problem. A poll conducted for the Association for Continence Advice estimated that up to three million people in the UK suffer from incontinence. The incontinence may be transient, e.g. as a result of a urinary tract infection, or permanent, e.g. as a result of damage to the pelvic floor. Many sufferers may not seek medical advice for their predicament and the figures given above may be a gross underestimation of the problem.
