Brief Summary:
Background Urinary incontinence is involuntary urinary leakage Although it is not life-threatening it dramatically influences the quality of life This study was conducted to determine the prevalence type and risk factors of UI in married women and its effect on their quality of life
Methods This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 413 women This research was conducted between October 2022 and July 2023 in the central district of a province in the northwestern region of Türkiye The data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Incontinence Quality of Life The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS for Windows IBM version 220 at a significance level of 005 Descriptive statistics baseline characteristics Normality was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test The results showed that the data were normally distributed Therefore an independent t-test t-table value was used for two independent groups while an Analysis of Variance ANOVA F-table value was used for more than two groups

Detailed Description:
Urinary incontinence UI is involuntary urinary leakage This condition causes physical psycho-social and economic problems1 It is more prevalent in women than in men It occurs in women during pregnancy childbirth or menopause It can also be triggered by factors such as advanced age diabetes mellitus chronic urinary infections hysterectomy and obesity23 While urinary incontinence is not a life-threatening condition it significantly impacts the quality of life for women It leads to social phobia social isolation reduced self-confidence and self-esteem embarrassment psychological issues as well as individual and societal costs2-4 Urinary incontinence represents a growing burden in numerous countries5 Milsom et al 2014
Urinary incontinence constitutes a significant public health issue when considering the global female population their participation in the workforce and their role in social life6 Urinary incontinence afflicts more than 40 of women worldwide7 Liu et al 2014 The prevalence of UI is 483 464 319 and 187 in women over 18 years of age living in Germany Denmark China and Norway respectively8-10 The prevalence of UI is 236 in women aged 45-60 years living in Brazil11 The prevalence of UI ranges from 164 and 497 in Turkish women12 The projected number of women with UI in the United States is expected to reach 284 million by 205013 Investigators believe that the prevalence of UI may be underestimated because many women either seek healthcare assistance late or not at all due to perceiving it as a natural consequence of aging or childbirth or because they feel embarrassed about the issue Furthermore only a small fraction of women who are diagnosed with UI receive effective treatment2314 More than half of women with UI 664 take approximately three years to seek medical assistance due to fears of stigmatization and a lack of information about treatment415 The treatment and care for UI necessitate a multidisciplinary approach due to the complexity of the condition and the various issues it involves However before women are willing to seek medical assistance for UI they must first recognize it as a medical issue Hence it is essential to develop a comprehensive understanding of UI raise awareness among women about the condition and provide ongoing support for those affected by it By taking these steps we can effectively manage and prevent this condition as well as create opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment Therefore this study investigated the prevalence type and risk factors of UI in married women and its effect on their quality of life
