For a child affected by incontinence, Continence Management training is a crucial factor for their physical, mental, and social well-being. CHT collaborates with partners to organize workshops that involve training on bladder draining, medically known as Clean Intermittent Catheterization, and bowel washout.<\/p>\n
When someone is incontinent, they are unable to control their bladder and\/or bowel movement. This negatively impacts the person\u2019s quality of life. It can affect a person\u2019s general well-being and socially isolate them due to embarrassment. The person therefore depends on continence care, meaning assistance with bladder and\/or bowel function. We work tirelessly to guide and coach children and their parents through scheduled trainings and regular follow-ups to make sure these children receive the necessary care for a healthy hygiene. This training is important for people who have Spina Bifida and experience incontinence. It helps them stay dry, protects them from wounds, urinary tract infections and kidney diseases.<\/p>\n
Incontinence has financial implications due to the cost of continence aid. It adds a significant burden on the family and care givers. This is where Child-Help Tanzania intervenes, by offering financial, professional and moral support.<\/p>\n
Continence management training workshops are important to CHT data collection, as they help in statistical survey of relevant data that should help plan a structured follow-up of these children from different regions.<\/p>\n
