In this video, we discuss how to have a tough talk with a family member about urinary leaking, a sensitive topic that requires maintaining dignity. If you're a family caregiver faced with this situation, this video provides tips on how to approach the conversation with sensitivity and care.
For family caregivers, talking with their loved one about urinary leaking can be sensitive topic to address. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Pick the right moment: Find a private, calm environment when your loved one seems relaxed.
2. Start with empathy: Express concern and offer support, not blame.
3. Focus on solutions: Let them know incontinence is common and treatable with a doctor's help.
4. Offer assistance: Ask if they'd like help finding a doctor or managing incontinence products.
5. Respect their privacy: Keep the conversation confidential unless they give permission to share.
