What is a Paediatric Continence Assessment?
A paediatric continence assessment is a comprehensive nursing assessment of a child or young person's bladder and bowel function.
​
The assessment considers medical, developmental, functional and environmental factors impacting continence and informs evidence-based strategies to support:
-
participation in daily life
-
independence and skill development
-
comfort, dignity and wellbeing
