The therapy and prevention of urinary incontinence NTM should be focused on educational activities carried out for members of the therapeutic team, patients and their families, and the entire society. Aim. The aim of the study is to analyze women's knowledge and opinions on selected aspects of urinary incontinence. Material and methods. The study involved 100 patients with urinary incontinence. A diagnostic survey method and a survey technique were used. Results. In their own research, the respondents confirmed that urinary incontinence episodes are more often observed in older age groups of women. They also had a varied knowledge of the causes, risk factors, diagnostic methods and NTM therapy. Most of the respondents confirmed the impact of the disease on the sphere of sexual life, professional activity and family life. The smallest percentage of respondents emphasized the impact of NTM on the sphere of social life. More than half of the women indicate that they have little knowledge about the prevention of urinary incontinence. The vast majority of respondents declare that they would like to definitely expand their knowledge on this subject. Women most often stated that the common source of knowledge about NTM is information obtained from a gynecologist, urologist, specialist doctor and data from the Internet. Conclusions. 1. Women with urinary incontinence show a different level of knowledge about selected aspects of the disease. 2. Women confirm insufficient knowledge about selected aspects of urinary incontinence and at the same time show readiness to supplement it.
