Abstract
Objective
This study was conducted to investigate the association between incontinence (INC), incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) and (nosocomial) pressure injuries (PI) in nursing home residents aged 60 years or older.
Methods
We included 3725 older residents in this cross-sectional, multisite secondary data analysis. A standardized questionnaire was used that included demographic data and other data including care dependency, as well as data on INC, IAD and PI. We analysed the data using methods of descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis and univariable/multivariate regressions.
Results
Our results showed that risks for malnutrition, diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and having a catheter for INC reasons were associated with a higher risk for (nosocomial) PI in this population. Independent of their age group, specifically residents with a catheter had a higher risk of developing a (nosocomial) PI.
Conclusions
We strongly recommend carrying out further studies to examine the association between the risk of malnutrition and PI. To address other aspects of nutritional status, studies on associations between obesity on INC, IAD as well as PI would also be of great interest.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Urological Nursing is an international peer-reviewed Journal for all nurses, non-specialist and specialist, who care for individuals with urological disorders. It is relevant for nurses working in a variety of settings: inpatient care, outpatient care, ambulatory care, community care, operating departments and specialist clinics.

Reflective analysis-
Education-
Management-
Research-
Leadership
The Journal welcomes original research papers, practice development papers and literature reviews. It also invites shorter papers such as case reports, critical commentary, reflective analysis and reports of audit, as well as contributions to regular sections such as the media reviews section. The International Journal of Urological Nursing supports the development of academic writing within the specialty and particularly welcomes papers from young researchers or practitioners who are seeking to build a publication profile.
