- Abstract
Introduction: incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is an inflammation of the skin, related to contact with moisture, frequent in patients with urinary and/or anal incontinence, which is an important challenge in nursing care. Objective: toidentify the punctual prevalence and characteristics of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) in adult patients admitted to the medical clinic of a general hospital. Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out with a non- probabilistic sample of incontinent patients. Data were collected on 2 days in March 2019, through interviews, physical examination and medical records, and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. Results: a prevalence of dermatitis associated with incontinence of 56.2% was found in incontinent patients. Among the types of incontinence, it was identified that 12.5% of the patients had urinary incontinence, 18.8% anal incontinence and 68.7% double incontinence. IAD was more frequent in women, over 70 years of age, with double incontinence. Conclusion: the prevalence of IAD in the medical clinic of the hospital under study is considered high, with category 2 being more frequent, that is, with skin rupture associated with edema and erythema. The findings raise the need for further studies, discussions and implementation of continuing education in health, especially for nursing care related to the topic.
