老年尿失禁患者应对方式评估工具的研究进展

Research progress in coping style assessment tools for elderly patients with urinary incontinence

应对方式是个体在面对压力时采取的认知或行为策略。积极的应对方式对改善老年尿失禁患者的身心结局有重大意义。准确评估老年尿失禁患者应对方式,可为后续制订干预措施提供依据。目前国内外可用于评估老年尿失禁应对方式的工具包括尿失禁特异性量表、相关心理评估量表、普适性量表。总的来说,相关的评估工具发展缓慢,量表侧重于对女性人群的评估,且评估内容较为单一,缺乏针对性和系统性。今后应立足于中国老年尿失禁患者的特点,发展适应性强的综合量表。

Coping style is a cognitive or behavioral strategy taken by individuals in the face of stress.Positive coping style is of great significance for improving the physical and mental outcomes of elderly patients with urinary incontinence.Accurate assessment of coping styles for the elderly patients with urinary incontinence can provide reference for the subsequent development of intervention measures.The existing coping style assessment tools for elderly incontinence at home and abroad include specific scale of incontinence,relevant psychological assessment scale,and universal scale.In a word,the progress in the studies on relevant assessment tools is slow,and it mainly focuses on the assessment of female population.The assessment content is relatively single and lacks of pertinence and systematization.In the future,a comprehensive scale with strong adaptability should be developed based on the characteristics of elderly incontinence patients in China.
