Engendering student empathy for disabled clients with urinary incontinence through experiential learning.

As part of a rehabilitation clinical course for senior baccalaureate nursing students, a disability-incontinence experiential learning activity is required. The assignment is intended to familiarize students with some of the challenges encountered by a client with mobility problems, including continence management issues using disposable undergarments. Wearing the undergarments dry and wet while being confined to a wheelchair provides insight and promotes empathy for patients with bladder control problems.

The opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of an alternative program schedule for entry-level nursing students are presented.
