| Research Abstract |
The present study investigated the urinary status and urination practices of community-dwelling elderly people with incontinence who are receiving home care, as well as the caregiving status of their family caregivers, in order to clarify factors related to urination practices and develop support measures . Regarding factors directly related to elderly patients, the proportion of patients who perceived the urge to urinate, who had a high degree of independence in transfers and in the sequence of movements accompanying transfers, and who could recognize and correctly use the toilet was higher among those who used a combination of the toilet and adult diapers compared to those who used only adult diapers. No significant correlations were observed for caregiver factors.
