Developments in continence care.

The small parallel study described in this article was undertaken as part of a larger study evaluating nursing developments in continence care and was designed to establish the prevalence of constipation among patients included in the study sites, and to review the related documented practice undertaken for these patients. This work took place in Oxfordshire Health Authority during 1993-1994 and included 15 sites, which comprised ten community hospitals involved in care of the elderly, four elderly care units at general hospitals and one rehabilitation unit.

Using a handbook to improve nurses' continence care.

Nursing care should be based on sound research evidence with demonstrated clinical effectiveness. Dissemination of this research evidence is, therefore, of paramount importance. A study using focus groups was undertaken during 1993-1994 to evaluate the dissemination of a clinical handbook for continence care to qualified nurses, in relation to reported nursing practice in care of the elderly wards/units in one health authority. A total of 124 nurses participated in the study and 98 variables were included. Improvements were recorded in nurses' responses between the pre-test and post-test for 84 (86 per cent) variables in the experimental group and 58 (59 per cent) in the control group. This demonstrates the positive value of the clinical handbook as a method of disseminating research evidence.
