This integrative review aimed to identify options for therapeutic intervention in the last five years for the treatment of the incontinence-associated dermatitis in institutionalized elderly. The literature research was conducted in the electronics database: Lilacs, Medline, Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science, with complete inclusion of scientific articles, published in Portuguese, Spanish or English, and dated from 2007 to 2011. In total (n=7), they were all in English and originated in Europe and North America. It was verified that absorbent products, baby wipes and topical products can bring good results, therefore they are strengthened by research of higher methodological stringency. Due to the scarcity of research about this theme and availability of similar products for the therapy of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis, it's necessary the development of evaluative research in the institutionalized elderly care.
