Abstract
PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF URINARY PROBLEMS IN THE ELDERLY AT CNHU-HKM IN COTONOU (BENIN)
Author(s): Michel Metonou Mehinto*, Appolinaire Gnanvi, Clementine Lokonon and Amelie D. AkploganObjective: Old age, which is a normal evolution of the physiological process, is experienced anxiously by many elderly people facing urinary disorders in Cotonou. The silence around it led to the initiative of this research which is interested in the study of the psychological repercussions of urinary incontinence in the elderly.
Method: As part of a mixed study perspective with a descriptive and analytical aim, it was conducted from 26 July, 2023 to 25 January, 2024 at the University Clinic of Mental Health. It consisted of data collection carried out from a sample of 92 people including 40 patients confronted with urinary incontinence in urology and mental health clinics, relatives of patients, managers of social promotion centers and the social health service of the Centre National Hospitalier Universitaire Hubert Koutoukou MAGA (CNHU-HKM), all selected using the so-called reasoned choice technique. The quantitative data collected through the questionnaire were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software (version 27) and the qualitative data were processed by thematic content analysis.
Results: It appears after triangulation of the data that urinary incontinence causes patients to have difficulties in adapting and psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression. These patients are insufficiently supported and guided in health structures and in families. Psychological management of urinary incontinence would improve the quality of life of this vulnerable social category.
Conclusion: The data from this research constitute a solid basis for drawing the attention of political and administrative authorities involved in the health field as well as national and international organizations to the importance and urgency of implementing general care that takes into account urination disorders in their medical and especially psychological aspects.
