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.
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。
