. This questionnaire study shows the view of four influential groups on urinary incontinence and the aids used to alleviate the problem. The findings indicated education needs for all studied categories of care personnel. Education is needed primarily in diagnosis, quantitative and qualitative evaluation of aids, facts about incontinence, and information to patients. Differences in views and actual knowledge between the studied groups are probably due to different frames of reference, priorities, and professional background.
