The current study aims to assess and compare the psychological symptoms and quality of life (Qol) of women with UI in Assiut (Egypt) and Sana'a (Yemen). Materials and Methods:A comparative study included 150 women from Yemen and 150 from Egypt, all of them complaining of UI. Tools used for the study were interview questionnaires included personal data, Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), which categorized UI into mild, moderate and severe, World Health Organization Qol scale and Symptoms Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R).Results: Signifi cant differences were found between Yemeni and Egyptian women as regard psychological and social relationship domains of Qol. Yemeni women had higher percentages of depression and anxiety more than Egyptian women with statistically signifi cant differences. Conclusion:Both Yemeni and Egyptian women with UI showed impaired Qol and had high percentage of psychological symptoms especially among women with severe UI. Involvement of the incontinent women in behavioral and group therapy, the presence of psychiatrist in UI clinics to address the psychological effects and increase awareness of nursing staff regarding the effects of UI on the psychological condition and Qol is mandatory.

“…8,10,14,30 In our study, SUI affected 15.9% of climacteric women and was similar to the population findings by Brito et al 8 With regard to factors associated with UI, the literature is controversial and often shows association between UI and socio-demographic data such as age, education and race; obstetric factors such as pregnancy, multiparity, type of delivery, newborn weight; gynecological factors such as gynecological surgeries and menopausal status; and morbidities such as diabetes mellitus and obesity. 1,4,[27][28][29][30][31] The bivariate analysis performed in our study showed a positive association with education, skin color, pregnancy, gynecologic surgery, which was not confirmed in the logistic regression. Our findings are in line with those documented by Brito et al 8 and Guarisi et al, 14 who also found no association between UI and socioeconomic and reproductive factors.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and identify associated factors to urinary incontinence (UI) in climacteric women. Method: In a cross-sectional study with a stratified random sample, 1,200 women aged between 35 and 72 years were studied, enrolled in the Family Health Strategy in the city of Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo. Urinary incontinence was investigated using the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire -Short Form, while associated factors were assessed based on a self-reported questionnaire with socio-demographic, obstetric and gynecological history, morbidities and drug use. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was estimated with a 95% confidence interval (95CI) and the associated factors were identified through multiple logistic regression model performed using Stata software, version 11.0. Results: Women had a mean age of 51.9 years, most were in menopause (59.4%), married (87.5%), Catholic (48.9%), and declared themselves black or brown (47.2%). The mean age of menopause of women with UI was 47.3 years. The prevalence of UI was 20.4% (95CI: 17.8-23.1%). The factors associated with UI were urinary loss during pregnancy (p=0.000) and after delivery (p=0.000), genital prolapse (p=0.000), stress (p=0.001), depression (p=0.002), and obesity (p=0.006). Conclusion: The prevalence of UI was lower but similar to that found in most similar studies. Factors associated with the genesis of UI were urinary loss during pregnancy and after delivery, genital prolapse and obesity.

“…Possivelmente, nessa faixa etária, a IU justifica-se pelo hipoestrogenismo, provavelmente o responsável pela instalação de prolapsos genitais e alterações urinárias após a menopausa (SARTORI et al, 1999 (SENSOY et al, 2013;PÉREZ-LÓPEZ et al, 2012;DIVANI et al, 2011;SUBAK et al, 2009a;FERNANDO e SULTAN, 2004;SZE et al, 2002;FAÚNDES et al, 2001). Na Suécia, uma coorte de dez anos observou quase cem mil mulheres para identificar o risco da IUE e a realização de cirurgia de prolapso genital entre as que realizaram somente parto vaginal comparadas aquelas com cesariana exclusiva.…”

“…Nos EUA somente 25% das mulheres incontinentes procuraram tratamento para o problema e se observou que o nível de tolerância delas para essa condição incômoda é bastante grande ( VAN GEELEN et al, 2000). Sensoy et al (2013) em estudo transversal investigaram 1050 mulheres entre 20 e 80 anos e identificaram que, embora 95,5% delas tivessem relatado impacto negativo da IU na sua QV, 64,7% não receberam nenhum cuidado para o problema, principalmente pela idade avançada, pelo constrangimento em relatar o desconforto e em ser examinada, além de não o considerar um problema relevante.…”

“…Essa baixa procura por tratamento sugere a necessidade de mais informações a respeito desse agravo e mais atenção às providências nos cuidados com a saúde (SENSOY et al, 2013;MOURÃO et al, 2008), confirmando os achados de Guarisi et al (2001b) (TAMANINI et al, 2004). O ICIQ-SF é composto por quatro itens: (1) frequência de IU; (2) volume; (3) impacto da IU na vida diária ("0" nenhum, "1 a 3" leve, "4 a 6" moderado, "7 a 9" grave, "10" muito grave); (4) sintomas urinários (TAMANINI et al, 2006).…”

). The factors associated with UI were urinary loss during pregnancy (p<0.001) and after delivery (p<0.001), genital prolapse (p<0.001), stress (p=0.001), depression (p=0.002), and obesity (p=0.006). The impact of incontinence was reported by the majority of women, with the social aspect being the most affected by the different types of incontinence. The greatest inconveniences were the rate of loss (p=0.005), pad use (p=0.011) and control of fluid intake (p=0.038). Conclusion -The prevalence of UI was similarin other studies.The associated factors with the genesis of UI were urinary loss during pregnancyand after delivery, genital prolapse and obesity and the consequences were depression and stress. Quality of life suffered negative interference with social impact and severity measures in women with UI. The impact of IU was associated with frequency of urinary incontinence, pad useand control fluid intake.
