AIM: To measure the effect of education on the knowledge of home carers in maintaining faecal continence for people with dementia.
METHOD: The quasi-experimental study involved pre-testing of carer knowledge, educational intervention and post-testing of their knowledge. The Carer Knowledge Questionnaire, specifically developed for use in the study, measured pre- and post-intervention knowledge levels. Knowledge scores and associations between categorical variables of interest were analysed.
RESULTS: Before education, carers demonstrated high knowledge levels of factors that can cause faecal incontinence and low knowledge levels of strategies to promote and maintain faecal continence. Post-testing revealed a statistically significant increase in total knowledge scores (p < 0.001). Specifically, knowledge regarding faecal continence increased in four main areas: contributing factors, implications of constipation, effectiveness of specific strategies and awareness of factors unrelated to dementia that can have an impact on faecal continence.
CONCLUSION: Education of home carers has been shown to increase knowledge of faecal continence.
