Hospital care and urinary incontinence in the elderly
ABSTRACT Objective: to identify factors inherent in hospital care that favor urinary incontinence in the elderly. Method: an integrative review with Scopus, CINAHL and Pubmed searches. Includes original articles, no language restriction, published between 2008 and 2018. Rated level of recommendation and level of evidence were assessed using the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine classification. Exploited content through thematic analysis in light of the Donabedian model. Results: 13 articles constituted the sample. There were factors such as the unjustified and indiscriminate use of devices such as the geriatric diaper; hospital structure adversely affecting the needs of the elderly; and deficit in screening, risk identification and underreporting of the problem favor urinary incontinence in the hospitalized elderly. Conclusion: modifiable factors related to hospital structures and care processes favor both the onset and worsening of urinary incontinence in the elderly.
