摘要
在美国，一半以上的女性都患有尿失禁（UI）。这种情况可以通过保守治疗，但很多人并不寻求治疗。本相关研究评估了女性对尿失禁的了解程度。具体而言，我们调查了尿失禁知识水平与生活质量（QoL）之间的关系，以及尿失禁严重程度与 QoL 之间的关系。我们从两个基督教青年会地点获得了 39 名老年妇女的方便横截面样本。数据采用斯皮尔曼秩相关系数进行分析。结果发现，尿失禁严重程度与 QoL 之间存在明显关系，rs = -.73，p < .001；尿失禁知识水平与 QoL 之间没有关系，rs = .24，p = .13。结果表明，女性对尿失禁的原因和保守疗法的了解有限。职业治疗师需要与患者一起解决尿失禁问题，并向她们介绍治疗方案和可用性。
Urinary Incontinence and Quality of Life: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Over half of women in the United States report urinary incontinence (UI). This condition can be treated conservatively, but many people do not seek treatment. The current correlational study assessed women's knowledge of UI. Specifically, we investigated the relationships between knowledge level about UI and quality of life (QoL), and between severity level of UI and QoL. A convenience cross-sectional sample of 39 older women was obtained from two YMCA locations. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient. A significant relationship was found between severity of UI and QoL, rs = -.73, p < .001; no relationship was found between knowledge level of UI and QoL, rs = .24, p = .13. Results suggested women's knowledge about the causes of UI and conservative therapy is limited. Occupational therapists need to address UI with their patients and educate them about treatment options and availability.
