Nurse-led multidisciplinary non-pharmacological program
Intervention1 paper6 findings
In one uncontrolled human pre–post study of rehabilitable urinary incontinence, a nurse-led multidisciplinary non-pharmacological programme is associated with improved functional autonomy, voiding awareness and quality of life, reduced incontinence severity and nocturnal voids, but unchanged cognitive status from baseline to hospital discharge.
