Introduction: Incontinence is commonly experienced by adults who receive care support in a residential facility or in their own home. These individuals are at risk of developing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), which is caused by prolonged and repeated exposure of the skin to urine or faeces. An IAD manual was developed providing an evidence-based clinical algorithm and an e-learning training programme for the prevention and treatment of IAD.

Purpose: Elevated skin pH facilitates the number of pathogenic bacteria increase, leading to the skin barrier dysfunction. This phenomenon is typically observed in individuals with Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), which imposes a substantial physical and psychological burden on the afflicted individuals. We evaluated the association between the development of IAD in community-dwelling women with urinary incontinence and cutaneous urease-producing bacteria, as these bacteria may be involved in elevating skin pH by chemical reaction with urea in urine.
