Summary

This study seeks to contribute to nursing practices by developing and stress incontinence care protocol with the help of the Star model and implementing this care protocol for the purpose of standardizing patient care outcomes.

Detailed description

To identify the effectiveness of a care protocol developed using the Star model on outcomes in female patients with stress incontinence. Information and evidence needs to be translated into nursing practice and applied to clinical decision-making in stress incontinence cases. Evidence-based study models such as the Star model provide guidance on using evidence to develop clinical guidelines and care protocols. The Star model is designed to improve patient outcomes by creating a bridge between research and clinical practice. There is currently no published stress incontinence care protocol based on the Star model. Although there is one published study of a care protocol for urinary incontinence, this protocol was not drawn up on the basis of an evidence-based model. Women that matched the sample criteria were recruited into the study. After their consent was obtained, the women were randomized into an intervention and a control group. The women in the intervention group were provided care according to stress incontinence care protocol. The control group received no intervention during the eight-week intervention period.
