John F. Schnelle, in Comprehensive Clinical Psychology. Bellack AS, Hersen M. (Eds.) Pergamon, NY. 1998; 433-454.
This chapter describes the prevalence of urinary incontinence among older adults, discusses treatment options, and presents detailed guidelines for assessing and managing urinary incontinence among nursing home residents. Particular attention is paid to prompted voiding programs, the most extensively evaluated toileting assistance program for nursing home residents. The role behavioral healthcare professionals can play in assessing and managing incontinence is highlighted. The author also identifies areas related to incontinence treatment that need further study.
