Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a multifactorial program for urinary incontinence, self-esteem and self-efficacy in older women.
Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest with no control group was used. Nineteen women completed weekly 90-min group sessions for eight weeks. The group received a multi-factorial program comprised of Kegel exercise, education and psychosocial programs over 8 weeks. Data on urinary incontinence, self-esteem and self-efficacy were collected twice: before the intervention and 8 weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test by non-parametric statistics.
Results: Total scores for the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire decreased significantly after the intervention (pretest 7.95±5.48, posttest 5.15±4.72, p<.05). The scores for self-esteem and self-efficacy improved significantly.
Conclusion: These results indicate that a multifactorial program for older women is feasible to prevent urinary incontinence in women living in the community.
