“…(25) Among these determinants, it is possible that certain racial or ethnic groups may perceive more UI bother or impact on quality of life despite the same UI severity, though this association has not been consistently demonstrated in the literature. (26–27) When reflecting on the grounded theory of health seeking behavior, decisions about care seeking are not only based on cost, bother, and quality of life impact, but these decisions are also highly influenced by an individual’s knowledge of treatment options.…”

Structured Abstract Objective Fewer than half of women with urinary incontinence (UI) seek care for their condition. Our objective was to qualitatively assess themes surrounding treatment seeking behaviors. Methods We conducted 12 focus groups in women, and using purposive sampling we stratified by racial or ethnic group (White, Black, Latina) and by UI frequency. All sessions were transcribed and coded for common themes. Comparative thematic analysis was used to describe similarities and differences among groups. Results In total, 113 (39 White, 41 Black, and 33 Latina) community dwelling women participated in focus groups. There were no differences in treatment seeking themes between groups with different UI frequency. However, certain themes emerged when comparing racial/ethnic groups. Women from all groups shared experiences of embarrassment and isolation due to UI, which were impediments to care seeking. White and Black women described discussions with close friends or family that led to normalization of symptoms, and prevented care seeking. Latina women maintained more secrecy about UI and reported the longest delays in seeking care. Women articulated a higher likelihood of seeking care if they had knowledge of treatment options, but White women were more likely to seek UI-related knowledge compared to Black or Latina women. Physician communication barriers were identified in all groups. Conclusions Despite similar experiences, there are different perceptions about care seeking among White, Black, and Latina women. Culturally relevant educational resources that focus on a range of treatment options may improve knowledge and thus improve care seeking behaviors in women with UI.

“…Embora a IU não coloque diretamente a vida das pessoas em risco, estudos apontam que mulheres incontinentes sentem dificuldades em lidar com a IU, principalmente quanto ao impacto negativo que esta condição acarreta nas esferas emocional e física, e ainda, quanto à tendência das mulheres em subestimar este problema (24) . Dentre os determinantes para a procura por tratamento se encontram a duração dos sintomas (> que 3 anos), impacto negativo da incontinência na qualidade de vida e desinibição para conversar com o médico sobre os sintomas (25) . Dois estudos epidemiológicos recentemente realizados em Portugal, com mulheres incontinentes, revelaram que as mulheres com IU apresentavam pior qualidade de vida, no geral e nas diferentes dimensões (26)(27) .…”

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.
