Development of a urinary incontinence educational program using a competency-based approach and case method.

Full Abstract

Nurses have limited knowledge about urinary incontinence and find it difficult to care for those who suffer from it, yet there is little training on incontinence designed for nurses. Hence, there is a real need to develop and evaluate an appropriate urinary incontinence educational program. A critical issue is the choice of teaching strategies designed to integrate learning. This article describes the competency-based approach and case method used to develop a urinary incontinence education program.
