Everybody s***s: how defecation stigma reduces care quality in dementia
Everybody s***s: how defecation stigma reduces care quality in dementia
Purpose
This paper aims to raise awareness of the ways in which faecal incontinence can impact the provision of dementia care by examining this through the lens of stigma.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper contains a scoping review of available literature relating to faecal incontinence, dementia and stigma.
Findings
Literature was organised into three themes: the origins of the stigma, the purpose of stigma and the care context.
Research limitations/implications
Limitations of this paper include the lack of literature discussing faecal incontinence and dementia in relation to stigma.
Practical implications
Stigma regarding faecal incontinence has the potential to impact quality of life of people with a dementia and contributes towards the invisible work of unqualified care workers.
Originality/value
Stigma and faecal incontinence have only a small amount of research around them in residential dementia care.
