RESUMO

Women listed in the Croydon Community Continence database were contacted with a self-assessment questionnaire regarding continence pad usage and quality of life. Completed questionnaires were received from 763 of 1509 (51%) participants. Pads were used for bladder dysfunction (88.1%) and bowel dysfunction (44%). The majority (82.5%) had concurrent medical disorders and problems with mobility with 77.5% being on one or more types of medication. Nearly 39% of women claimed that they would be happy to continue pad use indefinitely and only 28% expressed interest in seeking further help. Compared to bowel dysfunction, bladder dysfunction appeared to have a greater impact on women's quality of life (P < 0.001). Containment products make a substantial contribution in improving the quality of lives of women with bowel and bladder dysfunction. The financial burden of containment products has a major impact on the health budget and therefore, comprehensive clinical evaluation should be mandatory before relegating women to pads as a final resort.

RESUMO

This article presents the first available data on current national bowel-care standards. It involves 923 patients based at home or in residential/nursing homes. The baseline findings indicate problems of poorly controlled constipation, a high level of impaction and high use of rectal interventions. All the patients have been receiving laxatives regularly and 42 per cent were on combination laxative therapy. The audit provides evidence of complex, ineffective and/or inappropriate laxative prescribing linked to sub-optimal bowel care.
