Impact on caregivers of supporting urinary function in noninstitutionalized, chronically ill seniors

JH Flaherty, DK Miller and RM Coe
Department of Internal Medicine, Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City.

In a multivariate study of 148 caregivers of chronically ill older persons, 22% of those caring for a continent senior reported that maintaining continence was a burden, and 75% of caregivers of incontinent seniors reported it as burdensome. The burden of maintaining urinary function was associated with lack of social support, time spent providing care, and care receiver's immobility. Caregivers' depressive symptoms were associated with perceived burden from providing care for urinary function, a confused care receiver, and post-stroke support.
