Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in patients over 65 years of age and to investigate its relationship with sociodemographic characteristics.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study performed using a face to face survey and conducted between the dates of May 1st, 2019 and August 1st, 2019 in patients aged 65 and above and who applied to Gemerek State Hospital Family Medicine Outpatient Clinics. Following a literature search, the questionnaire developed by the investigators was applied.Results: The prevalence of UI was 28.5%. Among those, 43.8% alone had not presented to any physician with this complaint. Among the patients with UI who refrained to tell this complaint to their physicians, 76% considered this condition as a natural consequence of ageing, 17.4% were shy to get examined and 6.6% told that they had no discomfort to have a UI. Among the patients, 72.9% (n=269) were never asked by a physician or a nurse whether they had experienced UI. Conclusions: The symptoms of urinary incontinence are generally considered as a reflection of ageing or patients are shy to express this complaint. In addition, the rate of questioning about urinary incontinence by the physicians or nurses seems to be very low.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amacımız 65 yaş üzerindeki erkek ve kadın hastalarda üriner inkontinans prevelansını belirlemek ve sosyodemografik özelliklerle ilişkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 1 Mayıs 2019 ile 1 Ağustos 2019 tarihleri arasında Gemerek Devlet Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği Polikliniklerine başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri hastalarda yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile yapılan kesitsel tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Literatür taraması yapıldıktan sonra araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan anket uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Üriner inkontinans sıklığı %28,5’dir. Üriner inkontinansı olan hastaların %43,8’i üriner inkontinans şikayetini herhangi bir doktora söylememiştir. Üriner inkontinans olup doktora söylemeyenlerin %76’sı idrar kaçırmayı yaşlanmanın doğal bir sonucu olarak görmekte, %17,4’ü muayene olmaktan çekinmekte, %6,6’sı da idrar kaçırmaktan rahatsızlık duymadığını söylemektedir. Hastalarının %72,9’una (n=269) herhangi bir doktor veya hemşire tarafından idrar kaçırması olup olmadığı hiç sorulmamıştır. Sonuç: Hastalar tarafından bu üriner inkontinans semptomları yaşlanmanın normal bir hali olarak değerlendirilmekte veya şikayetlerini söylemekten çekinmektedirler. Doktor veya hemşireler tarafından üriner inkontinans sorgulanma oranının çok düşük olduğu görülmektedir.
