Co-developing a self-help tool for older men with urinary incontinence(accidental urine leakage) with older men and their healthcare providers

Urinary Incontinence | Intervention | Older Men

Older men can experience accidental urine leaks (incontinence) whichleads to poor physical health and adverse social, emotional, and financialcosts. Sufferers may isolate themselves, avoid social activities,experience sexual problems, become depressed, and need medicalassistance.
Despite being common in older men, it has received less attention than inolder women.
We will develop a self-help tool to improve incontinence with an oldermen's and healthcare providers' group.
Our self-help intervention may be produced in a variety of formats (digital, in-person workshops).
The intervention will help users make changes so that desired outcomes,such as reduced symptoms and improved quality of life, may be achieved.
