Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the risk factors of urinary incontinence in women and its effects on quality of life. Materials and Methods: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 156 female patients who applied to the Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic of a university hospital. The data were collected by the researcher using a face-to-face questionnaire method. Results: The prevalence of urinary incontinence was found to be 51.3%, the most common being 53.8% was stress incontinence. It was observed that the severity of incontinence increased, and quality of life scores decreased in parallel with age and number of births. There was a statistically significant correlation between vaginal delivery and having gynecologic surgery and incontinence (p<0.05). Conclusion: Urinary incontinence, which is common in women, negatively affects the quality of life. Advanced age, vaginal delivery, high number of deliveries, and history of gynecologic surgery increase the risk of urinary incontinence.

Özet

Amaç: Kadınlarda idrar kaçırmanın risk faktörlerini ve yaşam kalitesine etkilerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki çalışma bir üniversite hastanesinin Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum polikliniğine başvuran 156 kadın hasta ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından yüz yüze anket yöntemi kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Üriner inkontinans görülme sıklığı %51,3 olarak saptandı, en sık görüleni ise %53,8 ile stres inkontinanstı. Yaş ve doğum sayısına paralel olarak idrar kaçırma şiddetinin arttığı ve yaşam kalitesi puanlarının azaldığı görüldü. Vajinal doğum yapmak ile jinekolojik cerrahi operasyon geçirmek ve inkontinans arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki vardı (p<0,05). Sonuç: Kadınlarda sık görülen idrar kaçırma yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. İleri yaş, vajinal doğum, doğum sayısının fazla olması ve jinekolojik cerrahi öyküsü idrar kaçırma riskini arttırmaktadır.
