The aim of the work is to point out the problems of the management of incontinent patients - seniors in the context of their quality of life as well as treatment costs to find ways to make the widest possible public awareness of the fact that in most cases incontinence is solvable in terms of improving the quality of life.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The group consisted of 100 patients with urinary incontinence who were treated with conservative medical procedures at the urological outpatient clinic of the Railway Hospital in Košice. The research was conducted in the period from September 2018 to February 2019. The extended standardized Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life Measure (I-QOL) questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life.

The average value of the total I-QOL score of the group studied was 63.86 ± 19.29, which indicates that urinary incontinence has a significant impact on the quality of life of seniors. Respondents considered the frequent urge to urinate and the absence of a toilet in a reachable place to be a negative factor.

Patients expressed approximately equal concerns about feeling out of control of their bladder and concerns about urinating as well as concerns about worsening incontinence due to aging.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Based on the presented results, participants achieved the highest average score in the psychological domain of quality of life (27.81 ± 7.54) and the lowest in the social domain (14.15 ± 5.03).

Demographic and clinical data were obtained from patients and from medical records. We determined the occurrence of anxiety disorders, depression and emotional distress in patients following cerebrovascular accidents using a standardized Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Data analysis confirms a high incidence of anxiety in the HADS-A subscale (9.23 ± 4.13) and depression in the HADS-D subscale (9.09 ± 4.43) during the hospitalization phase of the disease. It demonstrates the pathological occurrence of anxiety states in 37%, depression in 36%, emotional distress in 36%, and a serious degree of combination of pathological values of the anxiety subscale and the depression subscale in 27% of patients. The existence of a strong positive correlation between anxiety and depression indicators was confirmed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results confirm a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in the acute phase of the disease. The findings indicate that patients recovering from cerebrovascular accidents not only face physical difficulties and loss of independence but also struggle with anxiety and depression, which can negatively impact and slow their recovery. Given the high frequency of these psychological conditions, further research is needed to enhance the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cerebrovascular accidents.</p>","PeriodicalId":9823,"journal":{"name":"Central European journal of public health","volume":"32 Supplement","pages":"18-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143000953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
