Abstract

Urinary incontinence, affecting over 300 million women worldwide, regardless of race and age, is considered one of the most important health issues in the 21st century. owing to the scale of the problem, the priority should be to provide therapy to as many patients as possible. Although effective conservative treatment measures for urinary incontinence are available, they may not cater for all individuals who seek help. Sometimes, a sense of embarrassment or a fear of stigmatization causes patients' reluctance to report urinary incontinence symptoms to their health care provider and to join therapy. That forces therapists to search for a new approach. in this field, the use of mHealth technologies seems very promising. They have become even more valuable during the CoVid-19 pandemic, when the interest in telemedicine, as a means of providing care while not being exposed to the risk of virus infection, further increased. The purpose of this work was a narrative review showing possibilities of employing conservative measures to manage stress urinary incontinence in women, with a particular emphasis on the use of mHealth technologies, as recent studies have shown that mobile applications seem to be an effective tool in terms of improving stress urinary incontinence symptoms, satisfaction, and adherence to therapy.Copyright © Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences.
移动应用在女性压力性尿失禁保守治疗中的地位
尿失禁被认为是21世纪最重要的健康问题之一,影响着全世界3亿多妇女,不分种族和年龄。由于问题的严重性,当务之急应该是为尽可能多的病人提供治疗。尽管对尿失禁有有效的保守治疗措施,但它们可能不能满足所有寻求帮助的个体。有时,一种尴尬的感觉或对污名化的恐惧导致患者不愿向他们的卫生保健提供者报告尿失禁症状并参加治疗。这迫使治疗师寻找新的治疗方法。在这一领域,移动医疗技术的应用似乎非常有前景。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,人们对远程医疗的兴趣进一步增加,因为远程医疗是在不暴露于病毒感染风险的情况下提供护理的一种手段。这项工作的目的是叙述性回顾,显示采用保守措施管理女性压力性尿失禁的可能性,特别强调使用移动健康技术,因为最近的研究表明,移动应用程序似乎是改善压力性尿失禁症状、满意度和治疗依从性方面的有效工具。版权所有©弗罗茨瓦夫健康与体育科学大学。
