Abstract

Objectives

In this study, it was aimed to determine the prevalence and effect of urinary incontinence in the postpartum 1 year period on psychosocial status of women.

Methods

This study with a cross-sectional and descriptive design was conducted between 01.10.2021 and 01.04.2022. There were 406 women in the postpartum 8 weeks to 1 year period who participated in the study. The data were collected through Identifying Information Form, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and Nottingham Health Profile.

Results

In the study, it was determined that 21.9% of the women in the postpartum period experienced urinary incontinence problems, and that the most common type of incontinence experienced was stress incontinence (62.9%). Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale mean score of the women who experienced urinary incontinence problems in the postpartum period was found to be significantly higher compared to those who did not experience this problem (P < .05), but no significant difference was found between the rates of those with depression risk according to the cutoff point of the scale (≥13 points). As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that the increase in depression risk resulted not from urinary incontinence but from age and parity. It was also determined that the mean scores of the women who experienced incontinence problems from the subscales of Nottingham Health profile was significantly high (P < .05).

Conclusions

In conclusion, urinary incontinence in the postpartum period is a prevalent problem affecting approximately one-fifth of women. In addition, this problem negatively affects the psychological and social dimensions of women's health.

产后1年尿失禁的发生率及其对妇女心理社会状况的影响

目的研究产后1年尿失禁的发生率及对妇女心理社会状况的影响。方法采用横断面和描述性设计，研究时间为2021年10月1日至2022年4月1日。共有406名产后8周至1年的妇女参与了这项研究。数据通过识别信息表、爱丁堡产后抑郁量表和诺丁汉健康概况收集。结果本研究确定21.9%的产后妇女出现尿失禁问题，其中最常见的尿失禁类型为应激性尿失禁(62.9%)。在爱丁堡产后抑郁量表中，出现尿失禁问题的妇女的平均得分明显高于未出现尿失禁问题的妇女(P < 0.05)，但根据量表的截止点(≥13分)，出现抑郁风险的妇女的发生率无显著差异。回归分析的结果表明，抑郁症风险的增加不是由尿失禁引起的，而是由年龄和胎次引起的。研究还发现，经历过尿失禁问题的女性在诺丁汉健康状况亚量表中的平均得分显著高(P < 0.05)。总之，产后尿失禁是一个普遍的问题，影响了大约五分之一的妇女。此外，这一问题对妇女健康的心理和社会层面产生负面影响。
