Summary
In previous studies at a university referral center the investigators demonstrated that a multicomponent conservative treatment for fecal incontinence was effective. The treatment combines patient education with medical management of diarrhea and constipation plus behavioral training. The purpose of this study is to determine whether this treatment is effective when delivered by home health care nurses to frail elderly patients.
