Studies show that urinary incontinence exerts a great influence on physical, social, emotional and psychological activities of the patients; because this illness is considered embarrassing by patients which results in isolation from the society, self-esteem and life quality reduction. From among the mentioned therapeutic interventions, conservative interventions, especially interventions about life style and physical and behavioral interventions are highly recommended for urinary incontinence treatment that can be used in a self-care manner for the aged suffering from urinary incontinence.

The sample consisted of 61 elderly men who suffered from urinary incontinence and dwelt in the rehabilitation and maintenance centers of two cities in the west of Iran. Samples were selected based on an available sample selection method and randomly divided in test and control groups. Data collection tools included Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Questionnaire (RSES), Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and a demographic information form. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18 software.
