Fecal incontinence among nursing home residents: Is it still a problem?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Fecal incontinence (FI) is a significant health problem among the elderly, with a devastating effect on their quality of life. The aim of the present study was to describe the prevalence and severity of FI among nursing home residents, and to investigate factors associated with FI. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in nursing homes in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Demographics and comorbidities were extracted from medical records of nursing homes. Data regarding incontinence were obtained via face-to-face interviews with residents or extracted from registered nurses' accounts (regarding residents with severe cognitive impairment). Results: In total, 588 nursing home residents were enrolled into the study. FI was noted in 336 (57.1%) participating residents. The majority of FI residents (57.8%) reported FI episodes several times a week; daily FI episodes were found in 22.9% of the FI residents. The mean Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score in FI residents was 17.2 +/- 1.8 (mean +/- SD). Factors associated with FI (statistically significant) were poor general health status (>= 4 comorbidities), urinary incontinence, cognitive-function impairment (dementia), decreased mobility, and length of nursing home residency. There was no association between FI and age, sex, body mass index, or living with/without a partner.
