摘要

关于低收入环境中尿失禁管理的信息很少。这篇文章提供了一些初步的见解，特别是与水、环境卫生和个人卫生(WASH)和卫生从业人员有关的，关于赞比亚患者和护理人员使用的应对策略。在赞比亚，大小便失禁很少向医疗专业人员报告，可能是因为由于与这种情况相关的耻辱而不愿披露。因此，尿失禁的管理和治疗是有限的，应对策略和接受的治疗都取决于可负担性和可及性。如果国际社会要实现普及卫生设施(目标6)和福祉(目标3)的可持续发展目标，赞比亚关于尿失禁的未来研究和规划将需要涉及讲卫生运动和卫生从业人员之间的合作，调查如何减少与该疾病相关的污名并提高认识，以及如何提高可获得性和治疗效果。

There is little information on the management of incontinence in low-income settings. This article provides some initial insights, of particular relevance to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and health practitioners, into the coping strategies used by sufferers and carers in Zambia. Incontinence is rarely reported to medical professionals in Zambia, possibly due to a reluctance to disclose as a result of the stigma associated with the condition. Management and treatment of incontinence is subsequently limited, and both coping strategies and treatment received are determined by affordability and accessibility. If the global community is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of universal sanitation (Goal 6) and well-being (Goal 3), future studies and programmes on incontinence in Zambia will need to involve collaborations between WASH and health practitioners that investigate how to reduce the stigma associated with the condition and increase awareness, and how to improve the availability and af...

期刊介绍： Published since 1982 Waterlines is a refereed journal providing a forum for those involved in extending water supply, sanitation, hygiene and waste management to all in developing countries. Waterlines aims to bridge the gap between research and practice: it encourages papers written by researchers for the benefit of practice and those written by practitioners to inform research and policy. It highlights information sources and promotes debate between different perspectives. Waterlines considers the key challenges facing those in the water and sanitation sector–engineers, health professionals.
