Inhaltsangabe

Incontinence is still a subject which is rarely discussed. But, since this very common condition can severely impair a person's lifestyle, information about it needs to be made more widely available, both to health professionals and to lay people. This text describes the nature of incontinence, how it can be managed, and gives information about the aids, equipment and services available to help those affected by this problem. It is a revised version of a book originally published in 1977 under the title - "Incontinence: A Guide to Understanding and Management of a Very Common Complaint". Since the earlier publication the services available to people with incontinence have increased significantly. More doctors and Incontinence Advisers (usually nurses) have expertise in the field, and manufacturers have improved their products. Incontinence can severly affect a person's self-esteem, family relationships and mobility. It is hoped that this book will help educate lay and professional readers about incontinence and how sufferers can be helped. This book should be of interest to health professionals (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists), social workers, volunteers working with disabled people, lay people.
