To examine the effect of a program to encourage fluid intake in institutionalized elderly people. A non-equivalent control group pre- and post-time series design was used. Data were analyzed with the SPSS program by t-test, chi-square test, and repeated measures ANOVA. Elderly people in the experimental group showed significantly better outcomes in terms of body weight reduction, skin moisture levels, and fluid intake and output compared with elderly people in the control group. Elderly people in the experimental group also showed significantly better outcomes in comparison with elderly people in the control group in relation to urinalysis including odor, pH, specific gravity, osmolality, color, white blood cell count, and bacteriuria. A hydration management program could be one of the most effective nursing strategies to ultimately enhance the quality of life and health of institutionalized elderly people.
