Abstract

Enhancing and enriching the health and wellbeing of migrant individuals with intellectual disability is essential in our diverse society. The needs of this population can be substantial, but unfortunately migrant individuals with intellectual disability face many challenges, from accessing health services, cultural complexities, financial difficulties, and language barriers, to lack of knowledge on the availability of particular services. Although a common condition, urinary incontinence remains a taboo subject and many individuals do not seek intervention even though it impacts on all aspects of their life. The migrant individual who has an intellectual disability may be unable to understand information that is provided, unable to gain knowledge, access educational material to promote continence and manage incontinence. This article considers what is known on the subject of urinary incontinence for an individual with intellectual disability from the migrant community in Ireland.
