Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a model to determine the correlation between comfort level and quality of life in women with UI.

Design: Cross-sectional, descriptive correlational research design with causal modeling.

Subjects and setting: The study was conducted in the urology outpatient clinic of a university hospital in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. The sample comprised 233 women admitted to the outpatient clinic between December 2017 and May 2018. Participants had a mean age of 52.5 (SD = 13.9) years.

Methods: Data were collected using a researcher-designed Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) form, the Urinary Incontinence and Frequency Comfort Questionnaire (UIFCQ), and the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Multivariate correlations were analyzed using structural equation modeling; an AMOS covariance-based structural equation model was developed.

Results: The correlational pathway between I-QOL, UIFCQ, and SF-36 was statistically significant. As a result of the confirmed model, I-QOL scores were moderately correlated with SF-36 scores (r = .65, P = .001) and highly correlated with UIFCQ scores (r = .76, P = .001). Mean UIFCQ scores were moderately correlated with SF-36 scores (r = .66, P = .001). The structural equation modeling resulted in a model with a good fit.

Conclusions: The higher the comfort level, the higher the UI-specific and health-related quality of life. Risk factors related to UI should be monitored, and necessary training and counseling should be provided to eliminate this common problem.

女性尿失禁患者舒适度与生活质量之间的相关性:结构方程模型法
目的:本研究旨在建立一个模型,以确定患有子宫内膜异位症的妇女的舒适度与生活质量之间的相关性:设计:横断面、描述性相关研究设计,并建立因果模型:研究在土耳其安纳托利亚中部地区一所大学医院的泌尿科门诊进行。样本包括2017年12月至2018年5月期间门诊收治的233名女性。参与者的平均年龄为 52.5(SD = 13.9)岁:使用研究者设计的描述性特征表、尿失禁生活质量(I-QOL)表、尿失禁和尿频舒适度问卷(UIFCQ)以及短表-36(SF-36)收集数据。使用结构方程模型分析了多变量相关性;建立了基于 AMOS 协方差的结构方程模型:结果:I-QOL、UIFCQ 和 SF-36 之间的相关路径具有统计学意义。经证实的模型结果显示,I-QOL 评分与 SF-36 评分呈中度相关(r = .65,P = .001),与 UIFCQ 评分呈高度相关(r = .76,P = .001)。UIFCQ 平均得分与 SF-36 评分呈中度相关(r = .66, P = .001)。结构方程模型的拟合效果良好:结论:舒适度越高,尿失禁特异性和与健康相关的生活质量就越高。应监测与尿失禁相关的风险因素,并提供必要的培训和咨询,以消除这一常见问题。
