Consultant, Appleton, Wisconsin

A 6-month study was conducted to assess the effects that noninvasive self-managed interventions on 12 remediable risk factors had on elder's urinary continence status. Each remediable risk factor was linked with a criterion meeting normal and (f not normal, one or more interventions. Continence history assessments were conducted monthly on 31 elders (M age = 67.65 years). After the first assessment elders were identified as continent, incontinent or at risk for loss of continence. At the end of the 6 months, 9 of the 11 continent elders moved to the at-risk group and the other 2 remained incontinent, and 12 of the 20 at-risk elders became continent Both the elders who were initially at risk and those who were incontinent had a statistically significant reduction in the number of remediable risk factors reported at the end of the study periods The assessments and interventions are useful.
