Abstract

Urinary Incontinence is a condition in which involuntary loss of urine is a social or hygienic problem for the patient. Urinary incontinence is regarded as a disgraceful situation, with a negative effect on the quality of life, and is usually kept disguised. It is an important problem leading to physical, social, psychological, sexual, and economic problems among women of all age groups. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge of urinary incontinence among women in a community at Barahachhetra. A descriptive study was conducted among women aged 40-65 years residing in Barahachhetra-5. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to gather data from 105 women using a semi-structured interview schedule with Face-to-face interviews. SPSS version 16 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, III., USA) was used for data entry and analysis. Descriptive analysis and inferential statistics i.e., chi-square test was used to find the association of the level of knowledge with selected demographic variables. This study revealed that out of 105 respondents, 21% had good knowledge and 59% had average knowledge on urinary incontinence which concluded that only less than one-fourth of respondents have good knowledge and the level of knowledge is not associated with selected demographic variables. It is recommended that awareness programs on urinary incontinence should be conducted at the community level by concerned authorities.
尼泊尔巴拉哈切特拉社区妇女尿失禁的知识
尿失禁是一种情况,其中不自主的尿丢失是一个社会或卫生问题的病人。尿失禁被认为是一种不光彩的情况,对生活质量有负面影响,通常被掩盖起来。这是一个在所有年龄组的妇女中导致身体、社会、心理、性和经济问题的重要问题。本研究的目的是评估Barahachhetra社区妇女对尿失禁的认识。对居住在Barahachhetra-5的40-65岁妇女进行了一项描述性研究。采用非概率目的抽样技术,采用面对面访谈的半结构化访谈时间表,从105名女性中收集数据。SPSS version 16 (SPSS Inc.,芝加哥,III.)(美国)用于数据录入和分析。使用描述性分析和推理统计,即卡方检验来发现知识水平与所选人口统计学变量的关联。这项研究显示,在105名受访者中,21%的人对尿失禁有良好的了解,59%的人对尿失禁有平均的了解,这表明只有不到四分之一的受访者对尿失禁有良好的了解,而且知识水平与选定的人口变量无关。建议有关当局应在社区一级开展尿失禁的宣传活动。
