New insights on incontinence-associated dermatitis
Prolonged contact of the skin with urine or faeces leads to a specific form of moisture-associated skin damage, known as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). While this is a common condition encountered in all areas of nursing practice, gaps remain in our understanding of the many contributing factors.
A lack of standardised definitions of IAD, differences in terminology, and a bewildering increase in products available to prevent and manage IAD, make it difficult for nurses to deliver evidence-based care. However, it is an area where nursing research has made a considerable contribution over the past few years, culminating in the development and publication of a set of international best practice principles based on expert consensus.1 This article explores the main principles developed and the implications for nursing practice

Abstract
Prolonged contact of the skin with urine or faeces leads to a specific form of moisture-associated skin damage, known as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). While this is a common condition encountered in all areas of nursing practice, gaps remain in our understanding of the many contributing factors.
A lack of standardised definitions of IAD, differences in terminology, and a bewildering increase in products available to prevent and manage IAD, make it difficult for nurses to deliver evidence-based care. However, it is an area where nursing research has made a considerable contribution over the past few years, culminating in the development and publication of a set of international best practice principles based on expert consensus.1 This article explores the main principles developed and the implications for nursing practice
