The aim of this study was to determine where and from whom postpartum women recalled receiving information about urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic floor exercises (PFEs), the helpfulness of this information, and their preferred sources of help with UI.
Women who had recently given birth in a Danish hospital (N = 439) were mailed a survey that elicited information about their experiences of receiving information about UI and PFEs.
Surveys were returned from 266 women, representing a response rate of 61%. Although almost all participants recalled receiving information about PFEs (95%), only half (55%) recalled being provided with information about UI. Midwives were the health care professionals who most commonly provided women with information about UI (33%) and PFEs (55%). Women generally perceived the information as being helpful, with the information from physiotherapists obtaining the highest mean ratings for helpfulness. Postpartum women indicated that they would prefer to consult with continence nurses or general nurses if they experienced UI. Health care professionals did not consistently provide postpartum women with information on UI and PFEs.
A coordinated multidisciplinary approach is needed to ensure that women are adequately informed about the risk of developing UI after childbirth and the ways in which this condition can be managed or resolved.
本研究旨在确定产后女性从何处以及向何人回忆获得关于尿失禁（UI）和骨盆底锻炼（PFEs）的信息，这些信息的有用性，以及她们对 UI 的首选帮助来源。
最近在丹麦医院分娩的女性（N=439）收到了一份调查，该调查询问了她们获得有关 UI 和 PFEs 的信息的经历。
有 266 名妇女（61%的回复率）退回了调查。尽管几乎所有参与者都回忆起接受过 PFEs 的信息（95%），但只有一半（55%）的人回忆起提供过关于 UI 的信息。助产士是最常向女性提供 UI（33%）和 PFEs（55%）信息的卫生保健专业人员。女性普遍认为这些信息很有帮助，其中来自物理治疗师的信息获得了最高的有用性评分。产后女性表示，如果出现 UI，她们更愿意咨询失禁护士或普通护士。卫生保健专业人员并未始终向产后女性提供关于 UI 和 PFEs 的信息。
需要采取协调的多学科方法，以确保女性充分了解产后发生 UI 的风险以及可以管理或解决该疾病的方法。
