“…The Cronbach's α of the total scale internal consistency was 0.88 [18,19]. The Chinese version scale has acceptable concurrent, predictive, and construct validity, and the Cronbach's α of the internal consistency ranged from 0.88 to 0.98 [30,31]. In this study, the Cronbach's α was 0.93.…”

Background Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which causes involuntarily leakage of urine, has an impact on many women and may affect self-efficacy, which, in turn, can lead to poor health-related quality of life (QOL). This study aimed to explore the effects of sociodemographic and health information, symptom distress, self-efficacy, and positive thinking on the health-related QOL (general QOL and urinary incontinence-specific QOL) of women with SUI. Methods A cross-sectional study design was used. Women with SUI were recruited from the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient department and urodynamics examination room of a hospital by convenience sampling from August 2021 to March 2022. Participants were surveyed on the following questionnaires: Urogenital Distress Inventory, Geriatric Self-efficacy Index for Urinary Incontinence, Positive Thinking Scale, 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire Short Form. Results Participants (N = 135) had a mean age of 53.76 years old. The mean SF-12 physical component summary score was 48.48 (physical QOL), and the mental component summary score was 46.56 (mental QOL). The urinary incontinence-specific QOL score was 16.01. Women with greater positive thinking and higher self-efficacy for urinary incontinence had better physical and mental QOL. Women with less symptom distress of urinary incontinence and higher self-efficacy for urinary incontinence had better urinary incontinence-specific QOL. Conclusion The health-related QOL of women with SUI is affected by many factors, including positive thinking, self-efficacy, and symptom distress. Healthcare professionals can provide multifaceted programs to improve the health-related QOL of women with SUI.

Few studies have explored the feasibility and efficacy of a multimedia information intervention for patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing hormone therapy. Thus, the purpose of the study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and the preliminary results of a multimedia-based hormone therapy information program (HTIP) on positive thinking and quality of life (QOL; primary outcomes) as well as social support and self-efficacy (secondary outcomes) of patients with prostate cancer. Patients with prostate cancer who were receiving hormone therapy were recruited from hospitals. After completing the pre-test questionnaire, patients were randomly divided into the multimedia information group (MIG; n = 40) and the control group (CG; n = 40). Patients in the MIG received a multimedia-based HTIP once a week for 6 weeks. Data were collected at 8 and 12 weeks after the pre-test. Measurement variables included positive thinking, QOL, social support, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with the program. The recruitment rate and retention rate were calculated for assessment of feasibility. The study had a 96.3% retention rate, and patients in the MIG were satisfied with the program. Preliminary results showed that, compared with those in the CG, patients in the MIG tended to exhibit higher positive thinking, prostate cancer-specific QOL, and social support at 8 weeks and 12 weeks after pre-test; however, the effect did not reach a statistically significant level. A multimedia-based HTIP is considered feasible and acceptable in patients with prostate cancer who underwent hormone therapy. Further research with a larger sample size, patients with high homogeneity in early-stage disease and long-term follow-up is needed to assess the efficacy of the intervention program.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04693910); Registered 05/01/2021.
