SÃO PAULO, 18 de abril de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A incontinência afeta mais de 400 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo e é um dos problemas médicos mais comuns que impactam no envelhecimento da população. Somente no Brasil, com incontinência urinária, são 10 milhões de pessoas, de acordo com os dados da Sociedade Brasileira de Urologia. Apesar dos avanços clínicos, que melhoram as opções de tratamento disponíveis, poucas pessoas com incontinência encontram a cura.

Para debater o assunto, entre os dias 17 e 18 de abril, em Roma (Itália), acontece o 7º Fórum Global sobre Incontinência (GFI), com o apoio da Essity, empresa líder mundial em higiene e saúde que desenvolve, produz e vende produtos e soluções de higiene pessoal.

O evento, que acontece a cada dois anos, possui o aval das principais sociedades médicas internacionais, reunirá mais de 300 participantes, entre líderes de opinião, especialistas médicos, decisores políticos e ONGS de 30 países, para debater as inovações e a melhoria na qualidade do atendimento aos pacientes que vivem com incontinência.

Melhores gestões de incontinência (com ênfase na utilização de produtos e rotinas adequadas)  podem aliviar drasticamente a sobrecarga do impacto econômico e ambiental, além de impactar positivamente na qualidade de vida das pessoas incontinentes e seus familiares e também numa melhora do ambiente de trabalho.

"O rápido envelhecimento da população mundial traz consigo o aumento expressivo da prevalência de várias síndromes entre as quais a da incontinência. Esse evento é uma oportunidade importante para a troca de conhecimento e para o alinhamento de práticas que possam melhorar a qualidade de vida daqueles que convivem com a incontinência diariamente", afirma Kalache, médico e gerontólogo, presidente do Centro Internacional da Longevidade (CIL) no Brasil, Presidente da Aliança Global de CILs, Embaixador Global da HelpAge International, e ex-diretor do programa de envelhecimento da Organização Mundial de Saúde.

Em sua 7ª edição, o GFI terá como foco central os resultados dos estudos sobre os Indicadores-Chave de Desempenho (KPIs) que permitem entender onde enfocar e melhorar nos aspectos econômicos e estruturais das instituições, assim como o impacto entre pacientes, cuidadores e sistemas de saúde. "Esperamos que os resultados deste estudo contribuam de forma tangível para a melhoria da provisão de cuidados para as pessoas que vivem com incontinência e sejam adotados pelos sistemas de saúde e assistência social nacionais em todo o mundo. Isto dará os provedores de cuidados e os legisladores, pela primeira vez, resultados claros a serem perseguidos e uma maneira de avaliar a melhoria contínua para as pessoas que vivem com incontinência. Também facilitará a criação de um poderoso banco de dados de avaliação comparativa que subsidiará a base para o fornecimento de estratégias de higienização e contenção do cuidado de saúde baseadas no valor", afirma Agustin Londoño, Diretor de Marketing da empresa Essity.

Evento Global Líder

O Fórum Global para Incontinência (GFI) é um evento global líder para instrução e debate sobre incontinência e atendimento relativo à continência. Criado em 2006 pela Essity, como parte de seu compromisso de aumentar a conscientização sobre a incontinência como uma questão essencial de saúde e assistência social.   

Cada evento do GFI se concentra em um tema específico relacionado à incontinência e visa tocar em assuntos importantes para impulsionar mudanças positivas em nível internacional e local. Temas sensíveis e importantes foram tratados em edições anteriores, tais como "Saúde e Assistência Social Sustentáveis: O papel do Cuidado Continuado na Capacitação da Vida Independente e Digna".

O 7º GFI é organizado pela Essity em parceria com a AGE Platform Europe, Eurocarers e IAPO, com o endosso das seguintes sociedades: Sociedade Internacional de Continência, Associação Canadense para Aposentado, Instituto Europeu de Saúde da Mulher, Associação DaneAge, Associação Canadense de Assessoria em Enfermagem Continente, Centro Europeu de Política e Previdência Social.
