Determination of Types and Frequency of Urinary Incontinence in Women

Abstract

Objective: Finding out the forms, frequency, and contributing variables of female urine incontinence was the goal of this study. Methods: The research is cross-sectional and descriptive. In this study, 408 women who were at least 18 years old participated. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form and the Women’s Personal Data Identification Form were used to gather study data. Results: It was discovered in this study that 37.3% of women had urine incontinence. The quality of life was found to be minimally impacted by urinary incontinence (2.81±4.02). Urinary incontinence frequency was found to be significantly correlated with age, body mass index, number of births, chronic conditions, normal delivery, menopause status, and these factors (p<0.05). Conclusion: Women who experience urinary incontinence, particularly as they age, suffer from a disorder that impairs their quality of life. To help women live better lives, it is critical that medical professionals-especially nurses-screen for urine incontinence in high-risk populations, refer patients to a facility for treatment when needed, and offer education in tandem.
