The purpose of this study was to review studies that have examined the quality of life of women with urinary incontinence.
A review was conducted that used the databases PubMED, Proquest, CINAHL, and Sciencedirect. Articles were included that were published in English between 2005 and 2010 the key words use were urinary incontinence, women, and quality of life.
A total of 18 studies were identified, and the prevalence of urinary incontinence varied depending on the definition of incontinence used and the age of the population studied. The Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QoL), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-short form (IIQ-7), and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) were the most commonly used instruments. Demographic, medical, physical, psychological, health, and intervention factors were reported as influencing factors on the quality of life of women with incontinence. Age, severity of urinary incontinence, type of urinary incontinence, number of urinary incontinence episodes, body weight, stress, and help-seeking behavior were statistically significant variables influencing quality of life.
Future studies are needed to identify factors related to quality of life among women with incontinence and to use validated instruments according to specific subjects.

通过 Pubmed、Proquest、CINAHL 和 Sciencedirect 数据库进行综述，纳入 2005 年至 2010 年间发表的英文文献，关键词为尿失禁、女性和生活质量。
共纳入 18 项研究，尿失禁的患病率因所使用的尿失禁定义和研究人群的年龄而有所不同。最常使用的评估工具包括尿失禁生活质量问卷（I-QoL）、尿失禁影响问卷-短表（IIQ-7）和 King 健康问卷（KHQ）。报告了人口统计学、医疗、身体、心理、健康和干预因素是影响尿失禁女性生活质量的因素。年龄、尿失禁严重程度、尿失禁类型、尿失禁发作次数、体重、压力和寻求帮助的行为是影响生活质量的统计学显著变量。
