Present study aimed to evaluate the effects of stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence on the quality of life and mental health of Iranian women with urinary incontinence (UI).
This was a cross sectional study of quality of life and mental health among women without and with different types of urinary incontinence (n = 140). Quality of life (QOL) and mental health were compared and measured using the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the 12-items General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).
Women with any types of urinary incontinence showed a significant lower degree of mental health. Women with mixed incontinence reported significantly lower QOL and mental health (P < 0.0001) compared to those with stress and urge incontinence, while there was no significant difference between women with stress and urge incontinence (P= 0.95).
Patients with UI showed inferior mental health and QOL while these symptoms were more severe among patients with mixed urinary incontinence.
本研究旨在评估压力性、急迫性和混合性尿失禁对伊朗尿失禁(UI)女性生活质量和心理健康的影响。
这是一项针对有和没有不同类型尿失禁的女性(n = 140)的生活质量和心理健康的横断面研究。使用泌尿生殖系统困扰量表(UDI - 6)、尿失禁影响问卷(IIQ - 7)和12项一般健康问卷(GHQ - 12)对生活质量(QOL)和心理健康进行比较和测量。
任何类型尿失禁的女性心理健康程度均显著较低。与压力性和急迫性尿失禁的女性相比,混合性尿失禁的女性报告的生活质量和心理健康显著更低(P < 0.0001),而压力性和急迫性尿失禁的女性之间没有显著差异(P = 0.95)。
尿失禁患者的心理健康和生活质量较差,而这些症状在混合性尿失禁患者中更为严重。
