Although the self-managing patient must
ultimately be the one to decide to implement one
evidence-based intervention over another, the nurse can
inform the patient of appropriate available resources
and explain clinical information and differences among
treatment alternatives. Concerns about privacy and
stigma may keep incontinent patients from asking for
guidance from health care providers, but conveying
a positive, supportive attitude, and practicing therapeutic
communication skills—such as reflective listening,
in which the nurse carefully listens to the
patient and then paraphrases back what was said to
confirm that the nurse understood it may foster
open communication and help patients overcome the
embarrassment of acknowledging incontinence. In
addition, sharing strategies found useful by others
may reassure patients that their problem isn’t unique
to them
