METHODS:

A sample of 834 institutionalized patients was randomly selected from 13 sanatoriums with 100 and more beds in Busan. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study.

The survey was conducted from February to September 2008.

RESULTS:

Overall prevalence of urinary incontinence in all of 834 respondents was found to be 48.1% prevalences of stress incontinence, urge incontinence, mixed incontinence, and functional incontinence were 25.7%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 59.9%, respectively. Among the patients with urinary incontinence symptoms, 28.6% had associated-dermatologic problems.
