“…A study on mental disorders in the United States, which is one of the topics of stigma, showed that the family's social support was more effective than the professional support or even peer support in improving the disease (52). In addition, perceived social support has been shown to be a positive factor in help-seeking behavior for women with UI (53). Similarly, in our study, social support was a facilitator in help-seeking.…”

Background: Urinary incontinence is widely accepted to be among the most important issues in the global health system. However, only a limited number of women refer for treatment as different factors make help-seeking behaviors more complicated than they initially seem to be. The aim of this study was to explain the factors affecting help-seeking behaviors in women suffering from urinary incontinence.Methods: The present study used a qualitative method, the conventional content analysis approach, and in-depth semi-structured interviews. The study was conducted between December 2018 and August 2019 in Tehran, Iran. The participants of the study included 34 women with urinary incontinence selected using purposive sampling method. The content analysis approach was based on the Graneheim and Lundman method, and qualitative data management software was used to analyze data.Results: Data analysis illustrates two facilitating and deterring themes; the categories "not perceiving disease ", "shame", "negative influence of important others", and "the health care system" were among the deterrents and the categories "weakening the quality of life" and "positive effect of important others" were found to be facilitators.Conclusions: The findings of the present study highlight the need for understanding the underlying facilitators and obstacles to help-seeking behaviors in women with urinary incontinence and suggest that healthcare providers consider an open dialogue with patients taking into account their subjective beliefs and life context during routine referrals so as to facilitate early diagnosis of the disease and ultimately lead to an improvement in the woman's quality of life.

“…Furthermore, they were negatively related to QOL: Patients who employed these two kinds of coping styles more often had lower QOL scores. Evidence suggests that maladaptive coping style can alleviate symptoms for a short period of time; however, it can be detrimental in the long run [37,38]. When confronting UI challenges, women used avoidant and palliative coping styles that were aimed at avoiding or concealing urine leakage.…”

“…Another evidence directly demonstrates that perceived UI severity is a predictor of help-seeking behavior among incontinent women (Koch 2006 ). Another study revealed that lower subjective UI severity or lower perceived UI severity contributed to longer delay to treatment (Wu et al 2015 ). In the present study, it was determined that 77.5 % of the women had mild urinary incontinence, 16.3 % moderate urinary incontinence, and 6.2 % severe urinary incontinence.…”

BackgroundThe objective of this study is to determine the incidence and the risk factors of the urinary incontinence in women visiting the Health Family Center.Methods430 women, who visited three Family Health Centers in the city center of Erzurum for any reason between 25 November and 20 January 2016, were included in this study without any sampling. The data were collected by using the face-to-face interview method. Percentage distribution, Chi square test, and logistic regression analysis were used in order to analyze the data.ResultsIt was determined that 37.2 % of these women had urinary incontinence, but only 29.3 % of them visited a physician because of this complaint. Among a total of 160 women with urinary incontinence findings, stress type incontinence was observed at the highest rate (33.7 %), which was followed by mixed type (31.8 %), urge type (20.6 %) and other types (overflow, continuous urinary incontinence) (13.7 %). It was found that urinary incontinence had a significant correlation with the number of children, genital prolapse, duration of delivery longer than 24 h, diabetes and urogenital infection, but not with the age at the first and last childbirth, presence of the episiotomy, birth weight over 4 kg, and smoking.ConclusionsIt was determined that one-third of the women had urinary incontinence and certain medical and obstetric conditions were affecting the development of urinary incontinence. It is thought that it is important for the healthcare personnel to take the progression of the urinary incontinence under control by preventing the risk factors and to encourage the patients to seek treatment with the help of the proper information indicating that urinary incontinence is a treatable and preventable condition.
