Clinical Trial Summary

Urinary incontinence is a common and bothersome condition that remains frequently untreated among senior women. The aim of this trial is to compare the effectiveness of two community-based continence promotion interventions aimed at improving rates of self-care and/or professional health-care seeking in older women with urinary incontinence. The main hypothesis posits that participation in a constructivist interactive workshop combined with use of an evidence-based self-management tool will yield rates of improvement in incontinence frequency and reduce the cost of pad use by 20% compared to either intervention alone, which individually are expected to yield minimal effect sizes of at least 0.3 compared to a sham intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

The research design is a 2x2 factorial open-label cluster randomised controlled trial. The cluster (unit of randomization) is at the level of each local community senior's group, from whence participants will be recruited. Incontinent community-dwelling older women aged 60 years and older who have not sought care for their urinary symptoms in the last two years, but who experience incontinence at least twice weekly will be recruited through local community organizations. Eligible participants from each local community centre will be randomly assigned as a group to one of four interventions. The first intervention is participation in an interactive constructivist continence workshop. The second intervention involves receipt of an evidence-based self-management tool for incontinence. The third group will receive both interventions. The fourth group will act as the control group: they will simply be asked about their urinary symptoms and given a general talk on women's health. At the end of the study, the control group will be offered the self-management tool. ;
