Reviews and Recommendations Treating Urinary Incontinence - a guide to behavioral methods As a rehabilitation nurse with 20 years of experience, I found the video to act as an excellent update and refresher.  The program has many strengths.  The information is current and presented at a basic learning level.   The format is professionally discrete, presenting the facts in clear laymen's terms using points of reference that the viewer can relate with.  Settings that might consider using the video would be acute inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient incontinence clinics, staff educators, physical therapy, home health, long-term care, assisted living facilities, private adult care homes and family practice settings.  This 17 minute program is appropriate for both patient and staff education.   Review excerpt, Rehabilitation Nursing (the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses)  Sept/Oct, 2003; Vol. 28, No. 5.  As engaging, creative and well-made as any video I've seen in some time. Its chief virtue is that, from the outset, it is well-designed both creatively and instructionally. Adding to this strong framework is an effective and professional production style. The content is current, and the patient teaching, particularly the section on Kegel exercises, is done very well.    Review excerpt from the Journal of Biocommunication, Vol. 22, No. 2, 1995. Excellent graphics and clearly depicted patient scenarios highlight this exceptional program.   Review excerpt from Ostomy / Wound Management Journal, July/Aug. 1994. A concise, well-organized and helpful educational tool.   Review excerpt from The Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing. May, 1995 This video provides clear and accurate information about the causes of and behavioral treatment methods for urinary incontinence, offering hope for those dealing with the problem. The content and various teaching strategies used (animation, demonstration, real people) result in a reassuring and positive approach to the topic and an enjoyable 17 minutes of viewing.   Review excerpt from The Gerontologist, Vol. 35, No. 3, 1995. This program takes a fresh, new approach to patient teaching. It is well-paced and is on an appropriate level for its intended audience. Presentation is clear and logical, and speakers are articulate.   Review excerpt from Media Profiles, Vol. 21, 1994. This simple and straightforward program is ideal for men and women (both client and provider) being introduced to behavioral treatment methods. Urinary incontinence can be a sensitive subject. This reviewer would recommend the purchase of the video as an adjunct educational tool.   Review excerpt from The Journal of Nurse-Midwifery, July-August, 1995. An extremely well-produced and useful patient education tool in the clinical practice of urology and in outreach programs to the general public and nursing home residents. Particularly useful in the education of health care professionals across the spectrum from nursing aides to physicians.    Christopher P. Steidle, M.D., Northeast Indiana Urology P.C., Fort Wayne, IN Reviewed and recommended by Elizabeth Noble, Physical Therapist; founder of the Ob/Gyn special interest group of the American Physical Therapy Association. I would recommend this video to anyone! The graphics are outstanding. The information coincides exactly with our protocols at the Bladder Wellness Center.   Susan Smith, RN MSN, Clinical Specialist (Gerontology), Catawba Memorial Hospital, Hickory, NC I plan to show this video to all my patients on their first visit for treatment of incontinence. It really is an icebreaker.   Donna Zeznock, Certified Urological & Enterostomal Therapy nurse, Providence Hospital, Anchorage, AK I use this tape with most presentations that I do since it accurately reflects current clinical approaches in nursing practice. This tape will be invaluable to schools of nursing, clinical agencies and in patient education programs.   Deborah Lekan-Rutledge, MSN, RN C, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Wellcare Dynamics, Adjunct Professor, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill This tape is an accurate representation of the pathophysiology of urinary incontinence and behavioral treatment options.   Jean F. Wyman, Ph.D., FAAN, Prof. of Gerontologic Nursing, Medical College of VA, Richmond, VA A significant contribution to incontinence management and a valuable patient education tool. Extremely useful to any practitioner utilizing behavioral techniques.   Dorothy Doughty, RN MN CETN, Program Director, Emory University ET Nursing Education Program, Atlanta, GA A very well-arranged and produced educational tool which is informative and applicable to a wide audience, including patients, physicians and non-physician health care professionals.   Hilary J. Cholhan, M.D., Assistant Professor, Obstetrics-Gynecology; Director, Division of Gynecology-Urogynecology, Univ. of Rochester, Rochester, NY The production quality and content make this video an asset to our educational programs.    Mary Jean Merkel, RN ETN, Beverly Enterprises Special Programs Coordinator, Region 4 Seldom have I seen medical instructional video like this which truly meets the educational needs of the lay person!   Christine Stacy, RN BS, Q/A Coordinator, Williamson's Pharmacy - Institutional Division, Harrisonburg, VA This video is wonderful!   Katy Swenson, RN Certified Urologic Nurse, c/o Warren Lowry, MD, Rockford, ILA powerful patient education tool! · Richard Rayome, Clinic Director.
