    (2009) Kocaöz, Semra; Bilgili, Naile; Eroglu, Kafiye
    Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence (UI) in nursing home residents in the capital city of Turkey. Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, 394 elderly people (244 women and 150 men), aged over 60 years were interviewed in nursing homes. A structured questionnaire and face to face interviews were used as the instrument for data collection. Results: The overall prevalence of UI was 22.8% (n=90) when defined as "the involuntary loss of urine at least twice a month". Among elderly people, 33 (36.3%) had urge, 29 (31.9%) stress and 5 (5.5%) mixed type UI. UI was significantly associated with body mass index, recurrent lower urinary tract infections, heart disease, endocrine disorders, respiratory diseases and urinary system diseases. Conclusions: Urinary incontinence affects approximately one of four elderly people in Turkish nursing homes. The results underscore the need for planning prevention and treatment strategies for UI.

    Role of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises in the Prevention of Stress Urinary Incontinence during Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period
    (KARGER, 2013) Kocaoz, Semra; Eroglu, Kafiye; Sivaslioglu, Ahmet Akin
    Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) in the prevention of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Methods: A total of 102 women was included in the study. Data, collected through forms, included characteristics of the women, follow-up data during the pregnancy and postpartum period and a three-day urinary diary. Both groups were evaluated in terms of SUI at the 14th-20th, 28th and 32nd weeks of gestation and at 12 weeks postpartum. Results: As shown by the pad test, SUI developed in 5.8, 17.3 and 1.9% of the subjects in the intervention group at the 28th and 32nd gestational week and the 12th postpartum week, respectively. The relevant ratios in the control group were 30,48 and 18%, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the intervention and control groups in terms of SUI development at the 28th and 32nd weeks of gestation and the 12th postpartum week (p < 0.05). Conclusion: PFME are effective for prevention of SUI development during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Health care providers are therefore recommended to provide education and counseling to pregnant women about SUI prevention. Copyright (c) 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel
