Results: Twenty three master’s theses are reviewed; it is stated that 19 of them are descriptive, 4 of them are experimental. Nine doctoral dissertations are reviewed; it is stated that one of them is cross -sectional, 4 of them are descriptive, experimental or prospective and 4 of them are experimental. In the descriptive studies, the factors of women’s urinary incontinence prevalence are examined. In addition, urinary incontinence’s effects on life quality, social life, sexual health, religious life are examined and their relations with the depression are also estimated.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de hemşirelik alanında üriner inkontinans konusunda yapılan yüksek lisans ve doktora tezlerinin taranması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmanın evrenini Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi’ne kayıtlı 2000-2016 yılları arasında Hemşirelik ve Doğum ve Kadın Hastalıkları Hemşireliği Anabilim Dalları’nda yapılan doktora ve yüksek lisans tezleri oluşturdu. Bu çalışmada “üriner inkontinans” anahtar kelimesi kullanıldı. Retrospektif tanımlayıcı literatür araştırmasında 9 doktora ve 23 yüksek lisans tezi incelendi. Verilerin analizinde tezlerin yüksek lisans ya da doktora tezi oluşu, tezlerin yayın yılı, amacı, örneklem grubu, örneklem sayısı, dizaynı ve sonuçları özetlendi. Bulgular: Taranan 23 yüksek lisans tezinden 19’i tanımlayıcı, 4’i deneysel; 9 doktora tezinden 1’i kesitsel, 4’ü tanımlayıcı, deneysel ya da prospektif ve 4’ü de deneysel olarak yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı çalışmalarda kadınlarda Üİ prevalansı, etkileyen faktörler incelenmiş ayrıca Üİ yaşam kalitesine, sosyal yaşama, cinsel sağlığa, dini yaşama etkilerine bakılmış ve depresyonla ilişkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Üİ sorunu kadınların yaşam kalitelerini olumsuz etkilediği, dini sorumluluklarını yerine getirmede sorun yaşadıkları ve depresyon ile Üİ arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirtilmiştir. Sonuç: Üriner inkontinans her yaş grubu kadında yaygın bir şekilde görüldüğü yapılan çalışmalarla tanımlanmış olup yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilediği saptanmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalarla pelvik taban kas egzersizleri ile kas gücünün arttırıldığı ve yaşam kalitesini olumlu etkilediği belirtilmiştir. Kadınların yarısına yakınını etkileyen üriner inkontinansın korunması ve tedavisine yönelik hemşireler tarafından daha çok deneysel araştırmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
