Research Questions

What is the prevalence of UI in non-menopausal women over the age of 18 who are registered with the Family Health Center? What are the risk factors for urinary incontinence?

Research Hypotheses

H1: There is a difference between the urinary incontinence severity levels of women who received and did not receive education and counseling program based on Pender's health promotion model.

H2: There is a difference between the self-esteem levels of women who received and did not receive a training and counseling program based on Pender's health promotion model.

H3: There is a difference between the sexual satisfaction levels of women who received and did not receive the training and counseling program based on Pender's health promotion model.

H4: There is a difference between the quality of life levels of women who received training and counseling programs based on Pender's health promotion model and those who did not.

In the second stage of the study, the 'Training and Counseling Program Based on Pender's Health Promotion Model' and 'Home Monitoring and Counseling Program' were applied to the intervention group, which was prepared according to Pender's Health Promotion Model.

During the three-month period, the intervention group received 3 home visits one, two and three months after the training program, and 3 phone calls 15 days after the training program and each home visit.

No intervention was made in the control group; Data collection forms were applied simultaneously with the intervention group and they were reminded that they were in the research by making a phone call.

Read the detailed description

The research was carried out in two stages.

In the first phase of the study, in a cross-sectional research design, in order to determine the prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence in women who are over 18 years old and who are not menopausal, registered in a Family Health Center; In this study, a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental research design was conducted to evaluate the effect of education and counseling program based on Pender's Health Promotion Model on self-esteem, sexual satisfaction and quality of life in women with second-stage urinary incontinence.

In the first phase of the study, 1042 women over the age of 18 who were registered at the Family Health Center and who did not go through menopause were included.

In the first stage, the data; It was collected between 18 January 2021 and 31 May 2021, using the 'Questionnaire on Descriptive Characteristics', 'International Incontinence Inquiry Form' and 'Incontinence Severity Index'.

The second stage of the study continued with 46 women who met the sample selection criteria for the second stage.

After the pre-test was completed, 46 women were assigned to the intervention and control groups (M:23, F:23) by stratified block randomization and stratified according to urinary incontinence severity (mild, moderate).

In the second stage of the research, the data; Between September 24, 2021 and January 13, 2022, 'International Incontinence Inquiry Form', 'Incontinence Severity Index', 'Information Form Based on Pender's Health Promotion Model', 'Self-Esteem Sub-Scale', 'Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale- It was collected using the 'Female Form', 'Incontinence Quality of Life Scale', 'Self-Efficacy/Efficacy Scale'.

In the second stage of the study, the 'Training and Counseling Program Based on Pender's Health Promotion Model' and 'Home Monitoring and Counseling Program' were applied to the intervention group, which was prepared according to Pender's Health Promotion Model.

During the three-month period, the intervention group received 3 home visits one, two and three months after the training program, and 3 phone calls 15 days after the training program and each home visit.

No intervention was made in the control group; Data collection forms were applied simultaneously with the intervention group and they were reminded that they were in the research by making a phone call.

In both stages of the study, the forms and scales were filled by the women themselves, and the women were guided during this period.

Frequency, percentage and descriptive statistics for data evaluation, Shapiro-Wilk Test, Independent Samples T-Test, Repeated Measurements Anova Test, Chi-square Test of Independence, Fisher Test, Cochran-Q Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, McNemar Test, Friedman Test and Marginal Homogeneity Test were used.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urinary incontinence severity

    'Incontinence Severity Index' was used to measure urinary incontinence severity.

    ISI was developed by Sandvik et al. (1993) in Norway to assess the severity of UI in women with UI. ISI is a simple assessment method that can be applied easily. The validity and reliability study of ISI was conducted by Hazar and Şirin (2008), Cronbach α coefficient was 0.67; validity coefficient was determined as r=0.963 and r=0.932. In this study, the Cronbach α coefficient of ISI was found to be 0.79.

    The ISI score is calculated by multiplying the score obtained from the first question with the score obtained from the second question. Although the total score varies between 1-12; If the total ISI score is between 1-2 points, it is considered as mild, between 3-6 points as moderate, between 8-9 points as severe, and if 12 points as very severe incontinence.

    Measured: Change from Urinary Incontinence Severity at 3 months.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Frequency of urinary incontinence

    In the evaluation, the first, second and third dimensions are scored and the fourth dimension used in determining the UI type is not scored. The first dimension is scored as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the highest 5 and the lowest 0 points are taken from this dimension. The second dimension is scored as 0, 2, 4, 6, and the highest 6 and the lowest 0 points are taken from this dimension. The third dimension is scored as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and the highest 10 and the lowest 0 points are taken from this dimension.

    The ICIQ-SF total score ranges from 0 to 21; A high score from the ICIQ-SF indicates that the quality of life of the individual is highly affected, while a low score indicates that it is less affected. Çetinel et al. (2007) in their study with 5565 women stated that when the ICIQ-SF total score is 8 and above, UI is in the dimension of disturbing and affecting daily life, and they determined 8 points as the cut-off point.

    Measured: Change from Frequency of urinary incontinence at 3 months.

  2. Quality of Life of women with urinary incontinence

    I-QOL consists of three sub-dimensions: limitation of behavior, psychosocial influence, and social isolation. Limitation of behaviors sub-dimension 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 20th items, psychosocial impact sub-dimension 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 21th, 22nd items, and the social isolation sub-dimension includes 8th, 12th, 14th, 18th, and 19th items. The five-point Likert-type scale is evaluated with "a lot" (1), "a lot" (2), "moderately" (3), "a little" (4) and "not at all" (5). The calculation of the scale is based on the scores of the I-QOL total and sub-dimensions, and the sum of each item divided by the number of items. The calculated total score is converted into a scale value from 0 to 100. An increase in the total score is considered as an increase in the quality of life.

    Measured: Change from Quality of Life at 3 months.

  3. Sexual Satisfaction

    'Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction-Women Form' was used to measure Sexual Satisfaction of women with urinary incontinence. GRISS, developed by Rust and Golombok (1986), is a measurement tool that evaluates sexual functions and the quality of sexual intercourse.

    The GRDCÖ-Female form consists of 28 items and 7 sub-dimensions: frequency of sexual intercourse, communication, satisfaction, avoidance, touch, vaginismus and anorgasmia. Items in the five-point Likert-type scale are evaluated with "never", "rarely", "sometimes", "mostly", "always" options. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the deterioration in sexual functions and the quality of the relationship increases. In the calculation of the scale, the score obtained from each sub-dimension is converted into standard scores ranging from 1 to 9. Scores of 5 and above from the sub-dimensions are considered to have a sexual problem related to that sub-dimension.

    Measured: Change from Sexual Satisfaction at 3 months.

  4. Self-esteem

    . There are a total of 6 items and 10 questions in 'Self-Esteem Sub-Scale' 5 out of 10 questions are positive and 5 are negative. 1st, 2nd and 3rd questions constitute the first item, 4th and 5th questions constitute the second item, 6th question is the third item, 7th question is the fourth item, 8th question is the fifth item, and 9th and 10th questions are the sixth item. Items are evaluated with "very true", "correct", "false" and "very false" options. Each item is 1 point; The total score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 6. For each item, "1" is given when the individual evaluates himself negatively, and "0" when he evaluates himself positively. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the self-esteem of the individual decreases. A score of 0-1 from the scale indicates a high level of self-esteem, a score of 2-4 indicates a moderate level of self-esteem, and a score of 5-6 indicates a low level of self-esteem.

    Measured: Change from Self-esteem at 3 months.
