AbstractIntroduction: Group dynamics is reported as a viable and cost-effective way to for promotion and health education among women. Objectives: Determine the level of knowledge about urinary incontinence among women who use the Public Health Network; verify the effectiveness of a health education protocol using group dynamics toward this population. Patients and Methods: We carried out a pilot study with application of a pre-and post-tests in six incontinent women. As a research instrument, we designed a health education and urinary incontinence questionnaires. We applied the questionnaires in late and immediate pre-and post-intervention periods. The meetings were based on an open group dynamics using lectures and recreational activities on topics related to urinary incontinence. Results: In the pre-intervention period, issues related to modifiable factors for the urinary incontinence treatment, as well as those related to the types of therapies used by physical therapists to treat incontinence of urine showed the highest percentage of error (83.3% of women). The participants showed a significant improvement in the level of knowledge regarding urinary incontinence from the pre-intervention moment to the immediate post-intervention moment (p = 0.005), as well as from the pre-intervention moment to the late post-intervention moment (p = 0.009). Conclusion: The present study showed that an open group dynamics using the proposed protocol was effective to improve the level of knowledge regarding urinary incontinence in women users of the Public Health Network in late and immediate post-intervention periods.
