| Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the characteristics of excretion troubles among the elderly who dwells in a long-term care facility, as well as to examine the efficacy of assistance program based on causes of their excretion troubles. The urinary incontinence is related to no urge to urinate rather than the malfunction of the bladder. Study participants were the persons who claimed no urge to urinate and had urinary incontinence, although their bladder functions were maintained. Researchers conducted urination assistance based on participants' desire to urinate after the regular confirmation of their urge. As a result, they were able to claim their desire to urinate and the number of their urinary incontinence was declined. Moreover, researchers decreased the amount of the laxative for the participants who were incontinent of muddy or watery stools. After the aid, their symptoms of diarrhea were improved and their stool incontinence had disappeared.
