Restorative Nursing Bladder Training program: recommending a strategy.

ABSTRACT

This article describes a Restorative Nursing Bladder Training program, a performance improvement initiative aimed at helping patients regain bladder control by postponing voiding, and then urinating according to a specific, individualized timetable. Data were collected on 14 patients who participated in the program from April 1999 through January 2001. Eight patients achieved a 100% reduction in incontinent episodes; 1 patient documented a 90% reduction; another patient attained an 85% reduction; 3 patients showed a 50% reduction; and 1 patient showed a 30% reduction.
