EVIDEM-C: Promoting continence and managing incontinence with people with dementia and their carers living at home Method: This study draws on the MRC Framework for developing complex interventions.

Preliminary Observations: The systematic review identified three papers meeting the inclusion criteria. Two described interventions of prompted voiding and one of individualised toileting schedules. All three had methodological weaknesses, raising questions of feasibility and acceptability. The qualitative stages of the study are now underway. Findings of the systematic review are being tested with groups of carers of people with dementia and health and social care professionals to consider issues of feasibility and acceptability. Background: Incontinence is distressing for any adult, impacting on their quality of life. Incontinence is known to be a significant factor in the decision for people with memory problems and dementias to take up residence in a care home. There is no evidence based guidance currently available in supporting people with dementia living at home with incontinence problems.

Method: This study draws on the MRC Framework fordeveloping complex interventions. Initial phases are:a) systematic review of evidence and b) qualitativeexploration of the views of people with dementiaand incontinence, their carers and health and socialcare professionals supporting them.

Preliminary Observations:The systematic review identified three papers meeting the inclusion criteria. Two described interventions ofprompted voiding and one of individualised toileting schedules. All three had methodological weaknesses,raising questions of feasibility and acceptability. The qualitative stages of the study are now underway. Findingsof the systematic review are being tested with groups of carers of people with dementia and health and socialcare professionals to consider issues of feasibility and acceptability.

Background: Incontinence is distressing for any adult, impactingon their quality of life.
