Description
Summary:The urine control theory, a middle range theory substructed from Roy's adaptation model, is presented to explicate the phenomenon of urine control. Urine in the bladder is identified as the focal stimulus, and the impact of the cognator subsystem in relation to urine control is described. The role of contextual stimuli related to mobility and the environment is also described. Relationships between concepts are explained and supported with individual case studies. The case findings are used to exemplify the interrelationships in the model. The urine control theory can be used by practitioners to inform practice and by researchers to guide research designs.
