Abstract
Background: Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition among women of all ages. The point prevalence of SUI among young adult Jordanian women is less explored.
Objectives: To examine the point prevalence of SUI among this sample based on activity level, and whether the affected women have shared their complaints with healthcare providers and/or received education related to UI.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey-based study. Participants with diseases that affect the control of micturition were excluded. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-UI Short-Form was used to calculate the point prevalence of UI. The Tegner activity scale was used to classify participants based on their physical activity levels. The participants reported whether they shared their complaints with a healthcare provider or received education about this health problem.
Results: Five hundred women (median age = 20 years, BMI = 22) participated (118 competitive athletes, 192 recreational, and 190 sedentary). The overall point prevalence of SUI was 14% (n = 61). A chi-square test of independence showed a significant difference in the point prevalence of SUI between women with different activity levels, χ2 (12) = 12.07, p < 0.01. The point prevalence of SUI among competitive athletes, recreational women, and sedentary women was 21%, 8%, and 11%, respectively. None of those with SUI have shared their complaints with healthcare providers or received education related to SUI.
Conclusion: SUI is prevalent among young adult Jordanian women, with the highest prevalence observed in those engaged in competitive athletic activities. The affected women refrain from disclosing their SUI-related concerns to healthcare practitioners and lack sufficient knowledge about this health issue.
背景:压力性尿失禁(SUI)是各个年龄段女性的常见病。关于约旦年轻成年女性中压力性尿失禁的点流行率的研究较少:目的:根据活动水平研究尿失禁在该样本中的点流行率,以及受影响的妇女是否向医疗保健提供者倾诉和/或接受过与尿失禁相关的教育:这是一项基于横断面调查的研究。不包括患有影响排尿控制疾病的参与者。国际尿失禁咨询问卷-UI简表用于计算尿失禁的点流行率。泰格纳活动量表用于根据参与者的体力活动水平对其进行分类。参与者还报告了他们是否向医疗保健提供者倾诉或接受过有关这一健康问题的教育:500名女性(中位年龄=20岁,体重指数=22)参加了此次调查(118名竞技运动员、192名休闲运动员和190名久坐者)。SUI的总发病率为14%(n=61)。独立的卡方检验结果显示,不同活动水平的女性在 SUI 点患病率上存在显著差异,χ2 (12) = 12.07,P 结论:膀胱尿道炎在约旦年轻成年女性中很普遍,在从事竞技体育活动的女性中发病率最高。受影响的女性不愿向医护人员透露与 SUI 相关的问题,对这一健康问题也缺乏足够的了解。
期刊介绍:
Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
