Introduction: The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) is notable among nursing professionals in hospital settings. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence among nursing professionals working in hospital units and how this condition impacts their daily activities. Method: This is a scoping review conducted in June 2024, which mapped how urinary incontinence affects work performance, including productivity, adherence to self-care practices, and limitations in daily activities. Observational and cross-sectional studies, as well as dissertations, were included. Exclusion criteria comprised review studies, letters to the editor, abstracts, studies in the project phase, book chapters, and complete books. The protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework platform, and the research sources included six databases: Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs, Embase, and CINAHL, as well as gray literature from CAPES Theses and Dissertations and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. Results: The study identified a variable prevalence of UI among nurses and nursing assistants. The impacts of urinary incontinence among nursing professionals range from physical discomfort to emotional issues, such as anxiety and embarrassment, reducing productivity and increasing the likelihood of leaving the profession. Conclusion: The review identified a significant prevalence of UI among nurses in hospital units. The impacts of urinary incontinence are substantial, affecting physical, emotional, and professional aspects.
