Abstract Objective Post-stroke urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the sequelae of stroke. This situation affects all aspects of the patient's life – physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. This study aimed to investigate the experience of patients’ success in facing a post-stroke UI. Methods A qualitative study using the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) approach was used in this study. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. In-depth interviews with as many as 8 patients who had recovered from post-stroke UI and living in the greater area of Southeast Sulawesi (Indonesia) were conducted. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 8 caregivers and 2 nurses. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach and interpretation of data was based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing. Results Five successful things the patients experienced during post-stroke UI were identified. The five successes were as follows: they provided information to get to know and understand post-stroke UI, followed the procedures to overcome post-stroke UI, conducted self-control exercises and stayed motivated, performed daily activities independently according to ability, and made use of family support and peers’ attention. Conclusions These findings indicated that persistence, belief, independence, and social support (family and peer) made patients to successfully face their post-stroke UI and improved their quality of life. These findings also became the basis for developing a post-stroke UI management model based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing.

Abstract Introduction Urinary incontinence is a prognostic indicator of mortality and functional recovery in stroke. There is a small evidence base that early intervention within the first three months may improve continence status and subsequent physical and psychological consequences. Methods Utilising a proforma and PDSA, data was collected on the identification and assessment of urinary continence status for patients admitted to a stroke unit. Five agreed standards from NICE (2012) and RCP (2016) guidelines formed the basis of audit. Three cycles of prospective data for a total of 66 patients was collected over four months, implementing quality improvement measures after each cycle. Results 22 participants per cycle. Cycle one demonstrated continence status was identified by the nursing team (100%), and the medical team (41%). However, standards regarding further care planning and assessment (22%), MDT input (11%) and subsequent behavioural and practical interventions (11%) was low. Change strategy, i) awareness training, ii) development of MDT prompt sheet. Cycle two, medical identification (82%), MDT discussion (100%), and continence specific interventions (66%), care planning decreased from 22% to 0%. Change strategy, incontinent patients receive an individualised assessment within 7 days by the advanced nurse practitioner, this assessment should consider all available evidence-based interventions, with the aim of reducing urinary incontinence within the early phases of stroke. Cycle three showed an overwhelming improvement to all five standards, nursing and medical identification (100%, 91. Conclusions PDSA style audit led to quality improvement. The identification of urinary continence status post stroke was high, but due to multifactorial elements often did not progress to assessment or intervention from the MDT. Utilising the existing role of the trainee advanced practitioner patients received evidence-based continence reviews in a timely manner, with no additional cost impact to the service.

Background: Approximately 22% to 73% of persons with stroke fall yearly. Falls can result in injury, activity limitation, decreased independence and death. Several studies have investigated falls during and after inpatient rehabilitation. A community based cohort with longitudinal follow up is needed to provide prospective insight into the risk factors for falls in the general stroke population. Purpose: To determine rate and predictors of fall with injury 3 and 12 months post stroke Methods: During 2005, 460 ischemic stroke patients from the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region were prospectively enrolled from all regional hospitals. Baseline data were collected in the acute hospital, and 3- and 12-month follow-up data were collected by subject or proxy interviews. Primary outcome was fall with injury categorized dichotomously (yes, no), analyzed separately at 3 and 12 months. Predictor variables collected at baseline included age, gender, race, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Predictor variables collected at 3 and 12 months included urinary incontinence (yes, no) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale (score ranging from 0-30). Variables with p<.10 were entered into the model. Final model maintained all variables with p<.05, adjusting for NIHSS. Results: Of the 460 patients in the cohort, 27 had died by 3 months post, and another 62 had died by 12 months. Of the surviving patients, 37 of 346 (10.7%) who completed the 3-month follow-up and 33 of 247 (13.4%) who completed the 12-month follow-up reported a fall with injury. Table 1 shows demographics and results by outcome. Conclusions: At least 10% of patients with fairly mild stroke (average NIHSS 5) reported a fall with injury during the first year post stroke. Adjusting for NIHSS, urinary incontinence and depression were associated with a fall with injury.
