Discussion;theresults from the bladder buzz educational program showed signicant positive changes in staff knowledge about the types of stress, functional,and overflow urinary incontience. Although an increase in the percentage of correct responses was noted on the item on urge incontience,a significant change did not reslt, perhaps because of the hogh rate of correcy responses on the pretest. The Bladder buzz educational program showed a singnificant positive change in staff understanding that urinary incontinence is not anormal part of aging. These results support the findings of a previous study that showed tha approximately 50% of nursing home stsff surveyed believed that urinary incontinence is a normal part of aging (Ehlman et al.2012). These results point to a lack of foundaional concepts and principles on the topic of urinary incontinence in the content provided for nursing staff at all level. Because most staff who completed both the pretest and posttest had at least3years of experience caring for elders, it would also appear that this type of information on urinary incontinence in not covered during orientation and onhoing staff education. Greater knowledge about urinary incontinence may result from popular media advertisement for medications totreat this condition.F inally, evidence of a continuing belief that urinary incontinence ir a normal part of aging likely also results from inadequate information and accepance of this myth, even amonh elders.
