Abstract

Introduction and hypotheses: Few studies have investigated the relationship between work productivity (WP) and overactive bladder syndrome (OABS). The majority of those that do use generic productivity questionnaires or only include WP as a secondary outcome. We evaluated the impact of OABS on specific domains of WP, with the hypothesis that OABS has an impact on the domains of efficiency, concentration, vigor, and irritability, lost working hours, interruptions, and impairment to the work schedule.

Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study with 576 female employees (without SBH 447, dry OABS 63, wet OABS 66) was carried out. The 8-item Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-V8), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB), and a WP questionnaire developed by the authors were used. Non-parametric tests were adopted to associate OABS with productivity. The correlation between the instruments was performed using the Spearman test, adopting a value of p = 0.05.

Results: There was a significant impact of urinary symptoms on WP (p = 0.03) in the domains of productivity/efficiency (p = 0.03), restlessness (p < 0.05), and interruptions to go to the bathroom (p = 0.03), which was higher among employees with wet OABS. Urgency and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) were the symptoms with the greatest productive impact (p = 0.01, p < 0.001). A significant correlation was found between WP scores and OAB-V8 and ICIQ-AOB scores in both groups (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: OABS impacted WP, in the domains of efficiency, restlessness, and interruptions to go to the bathroom, with urgency and UUI being the symptoms with the greatest impact on productivity.

评估膀胱过度活动症对巴西一家医院员工工作效率的影响。
导言和假设:很少有研究调查工作效率(WP)与膀胱过度活动症(OABS)之间的关系。大多数研究使用的是通用的工作效率问卷,或仅将工作效率作为次要结果。我们评估了膀胱过度活动症对工作效率特定领域的影响,假设膀胱过度活动症会影响效率、注意力、活力、易怒、工时损失、中断和对工作安排的损害等领域:方法:对 576 名女性员工(无 SBH 447 人,干性 OABS 63 人,湿性 OABS 66 人)进行了横断面观察研究。研究中使用了 8 项膀胱过度活动症问卷(OAB-V8)、国际尿失禁咨询会膀胱过度活动症问卷(ICIQ-OAB)以及作者开发的 WP 问卷。采用非参数检验将 OABS 与工作效率联系起来。工具之间的相关性采用斯皮尔曼检验,检验值为 p = 0.05:OABS 在效率、烦躁不安和上厕所中断等方面对工作效率有影响,其中尿急和尿频是对工作效率影响最大的症状。

期刊介绍: The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
