“…This is expressed, among others, by a change in the patient’s own and loved ones’ lifestyle, limited sexual contacts, increased spending on pharmaceuticals and specialists in order to treat UI, and resignation from social life and even work. 9 A study conducted by Dutkiewicz and Kapusta 20 on a group of 60 women older than 50 years of age from the Department of Care and Medicine in Kielce showed a negative impact of UI on the quality of life in examined women. A change in lifestyle and a decrease in social contacts were confirmed by 91.7% of female residents.…”

Urinary incontinence is an involuntary urination (leakage of urine). About 200 million people suffer from this condition, and 60% of cases are concealed and untreated because of shame. It is estimated that an increasing number of young women and women of menopausal age will suffer from urinary incontinence. This disease occurs during the perinatal, perimenopausal period, as a result of brain damage or an unhealthy lifestyle. There are four main types of urinary incontinence: stress, urge, overflow and mixed form. Treatment is adapted to the severity of disease, its type and includes physiotherapeutic treatment (kinesiotherapy, physiotherapy, massage), pharmacological, psychological and surgical treatment. In recent years, growing interest has been observed in the noninvasive biofeedback method. The patient learns to contract the weakened pelvic floor muscles, constantly monitoring progress in treatment. She is also motivated by visual and auditory stimuli. Growing evidence confirms the effectiveness of this method, which to a large extent eliminates urinary incontinence. Nevertheless, attention should also be paid to prevention, which reduces the risk of involuntary leakage of urine.

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.

Introduction. Urinary incontinence consists in an involuntary leakage of urine from the urethra. It affects both women and men, but women get ill more often. Although the morbidity peak falls on perimenopausal age, urinary incontinence can occur at any age. The highest percentage of patients is the elderly population. Aim. Assessment of women’s awareness of urinary incontinence. Materiala and methods. The group of study participants comprised 130 women aged between 18 and 89. The tool used in the study was the authors’ own questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 31 questions, including, among others, demographic questions about age, marital status, education, occupational situation, number of births, number of children as well as definitions, risk factors, prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence. Results. The women subjected to the study self-assessed their state of knowledge on urinary incontinence. The study showed that 37 people (28.5%) assessed their state of knowledge as good, 42 people (32.3%) as sufficient and 51 (39.2%) as insufficient. For 56.15% (n=73) of the surveyed women, the most common source of knowledge about urinary incontinence was non-professional literature (magazines and newspapers). The study showed a statistically significant relationship between knowledge of urinary incontinence and education (Chi square X2=24.472; p≤0.0004). People with higher education had a better knowledge about urinary incontinence. Conclusions. The level of knowledge of the research participants about urinary incontinence is insufficient. A sense of shame and lack of time are the main reasons for low reporting of the UI problem to the doctor or nurse. There is a need to run an educational campaign to make the public aware of treatment options and IU prevention.
