Healthcare providers' and older men's views on risk factors for urinary incontinence that can be self-managed
Urinary Incontinence | Intervention | Older MenOlder men can experience accidental leaks of urine (urinary incontinence), which can negatively affect their physical health, emotional well-being, and financial standing.
Sufferers may isolate themselves, avoid social engagements and sports activities, experience sex problems, become depressed, and need medical assistance or nursing care.
Despite being common in older men, incontinence has received less attention than in older women.
We will assess healthcare providers' (HCPs') views on factors that can be self-managed and older men's opinions on how practical it is to make changes.
Using our findings and input from a group of older men and HCPs, we will develop a tool to improve quality of life for older men with UI.
