ASUHAN KEPERAWATAN PADA LANSIA DENGAN MASALAH KEPERAWATAN INKONTINENSIA URINE FUNGSIONAL DI UPT PSTW MAGETAN

Urinary incontinence is the uncontrolled release of urine at undesired times, regardless of the amount or frequency. Urinary incontinence can cause physical, emotional, social, and hygiene problems. Nursing care for elderly patients with functional urinary incontinence was conducted at Wisma Bima UPT PSTW Magetan for 4 days in February 2024 using the nursing process method.
The assessment results revealed that Mrs. K suffered from urinary incontinence due to age-related factors, leading to weakened bladder muscle tone. Data from Mrs. K showed urination 9 times a day, waking up at night to urinate, and experiencing accidents before reaching the toilet. Nursing interventions included teaching scheduled Kegel exercises, encouraging adequate fluid intake, and recommending limited fluid intake before bedtime.
The evaluation of the nursing interventions showed that Mrs. K urinary incontinence improved partially with scheduled Kegel exercises, as the frequency of urination began to improve. It is recommended that the client independently and routinely perform scheduled Kegel exercises.
