Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the awareness of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) and PFM exercises (PFME) knowledge, training and experience in community-dwelling women aged 60 and over and its relationship with urinary incontinence (UI).

Methods: This is a questionnaire based study which was carried out in 9 Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Centers, including a total of 500 women aged 60 and over and living in the community. The questionnaire included questions about awareness of PFMs, UI complaints and PFME knowledge, training and experience. Knowledge and awareness of PFMs and PFME knowledge, training and experience were compared in subgroups with or without urinary incontinence.

Results: The mean age of the women included in the study was 67.8 ± 6.1 (60-88). Knowledge and awareness of PFMs and PFME knowledge, training and experience were low in the study population. Knowledge and awareness of PFMs were significantly low in the subgroup with urinary incontinence (p < 0.05). Kegel exercise training and experience were significantly low in the subgroup without urinary incontinence (p = 0.01, p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Knowledge and awareness of PFMs and PFME knowledge, training and experience are low in community-dwelling women aged 60 and over and training programs should be organized to teach the function of the PFMs and to perform PFME correctly in this population.

60 岁以上社区妇女的盆底肌肉知识：与尿失禁的关系。

目的：调查 60 岁及以上社区妇女对骨盆底肌肉（PFM）的认识、骨盆底肌肉锻炼（PFME）的知识、培训和经验及其与尿失禁（UI）的关系：这是一项基于调查问卷的研究，在 9 个物理医学和康复中心进行，共涉及 500 名 60 岁及以上的社区妇女。调查问卷包括有关对产妇排尿设施的认识、尿失禁主诉以及产妇排尿设施的知识、培训和经验等问题。在有或没有尿失禁的亚组中，对PFM的知识和认知以及PFME的知识、培训和经验进行了比较：参与研究的妇女平均年龄为 67.8±6.1 (60-88)岁。研究对象对宫内节育器的了解和认识以及宫内节育器的知识、培训和经验均较少。在患有尿失禁的亚组中，对腹腔镜微创器械的了解和认识程度明显偏低（p 结论：对腹腔镜微创器械的了解和认识程度在亚组中明显偏低：在 60 岁及以上的社区居住妇女中，对 PFMs 的知识和认识以及 PFME 的知识、培训和经验都很低，因此应组织培训计划，教授 PFMs 的功能，并在这一人群中正确实施 PFME。
