Purpose: The purpose of the study was to conduct a systematic literature review to understand the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms among nurses.
Methods: Our systematic literature review was conducted as described in the systematic literature review manual on prevalence and incidence from the Joanna Briggs Institute. In order to evaluate the methodological quality of the literature, the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data tool was used.
Results: A total of 14 lower urinary tract symptoms were identified: daytime frequency, urgency, nocturia, incontinence, stress incontinence, urge incontinence, complex urinary incontinence, overactive bladder syndrome, urinary hesitation, abdominal pressure voiding, hepatic colic, weak urination, urgency, and diurnal points. The prevalence varied from 1.5% to 64.2%.
Conclusion: The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms among nurses was found to be high overall, confirming the severity of the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms among nurses.
