Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Pregnancy and labor are independent risk factors for the development of urinary incontinence (UI). Although UI is common during pregnancy, it is a health problem mostly neglected by pregnant women. The high prevalence of UI in pregnancy and its effects on the postpartum period justifies the need to determine the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding the prevention and management of UI. It is necessary to increase the awareness of pregnant women about UI, educate, consultant, and integrate pelvic floor muscle training into prenatal care services. This study aims to determine the UI awareness of pregnant women and their knowledge and attitudes in this context.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 255 pregnant women in a university hospital in Turkey between March and September 2020. Data were collected using the Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) and Urinary Incontinence Attitude Scale (UIAS).
UNASSIGNED: The UI prevalence was 51% during pregnancy. The mean score of PIKQ was 8.07±2.64, and only 6.3% of participants correctly answered all the questions regarding UI. The mean score of UIAS was 42.33±3.48. A positive correlation was found between UI knowledge and attitude score (r=0.35, p=0.00).
UNASSIGNED: The results showed that although UI is prevalent during pregnancy, pregnant women\'s knowledge of UI is poor. Nearly half of pregnant women need information. They tend to display positive attitudes towards UI, but not sufficient to improve their health-seeking behavior. Strategies should be developed to increase pregnant women\'s awareness of UI and to encourage them health-seeking behaviors for the prevention/management of UI during prenatal visits.

摘要：
■妊娠和分娩是尿失禁（UI）发展的独立危险因素。虽然UI在怀孕期间很常见，这是一个孕妇大多忽视的健康问题。妊娠期UI的高患病率及其对产后期的影响证明有必要确定孕妇对UI的预防和管理的知识和态度。有必要提高孕妇对UI的认识，教育,顾问,并将盆底肌肉训练纳入产前护理服务。本研究旨在确定孕妇的UI意识及其在这种情况下的知识和态度。
这项横断面研究是在2020年3月至9月期间在土耳其一所大学医院对255名孕妇进行的。使用失禁知识问卷（PIKQ）和尿失禁态度量表（UIAS）收集数据。
■妊娠期UI患病率为51%。PIKQ的平均得分为8.07±2.64，只有6.3％的参与者正确回答了有关UI的所有问题。UIAS的平均得分为42.33±3.48。UI知识与态度得分呈正相关(r=0.35,p=0.00)。
■结果显示，尽管怀孕期间UI普遍存在，孕妇的UI知识很差。将近一半的孕妇需要信息。他们倾向于对UI表现出积极的态度，但不足以改善他们寻求健康的行为。应制定策略以提高孕妇对UI的认识，并鼓励她们在产前检查期间采取寻求健康的行为来预防/管理UI。
