The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of urinary incontinence on body image, self-esteem, and quality of life.
The study was conducted with 218 women with urinary incontinence. The study data were collected using the Socio-Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Body Cathexis Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire.
There was a weak, statistically significant, positive relationship found between the Body Cathexis Scale total average scores and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale total average scores of the women and a weak, statistically significant, negative relationship with the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire total average scores. In addition, a weak, statistically significant, negative relationship was found between the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale total score averages and Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire total score averages. Significant effects were seen for body image score with pad usage; for self-esteem in relation to number of deliveries, duration, and frequency of urinary incontinence; and for incontinence quality of life and duration and frequency of urinary incontinence and pad usage.
It was concluded that most of the women with urinary incontinence had negative body image and that more than half of them had moderate or low self-esteem and a moderate quality of life.
本研究旨在调查尿失禁对身体意象、自尊和生活质量的影响。
对218名尿失禁女性进行了研究。研究数据通过社会人口学特征问卷、身体投入量表、罗森伯格自尊量表和尿失禁生活质量问卷收集。
女性的身体投入量表总平均分与罗森伯格自尊量表总平均分之间存在微弱的、具有统计学意义的正相关关系，与尿失禁生活质量问卷总平均分之间存在微弱的、具有统计学意义的负相关关系。此外，罗森伯格自尊量表总平均分与尿失禁生活质量问卷总平均分之间存在微弱的、具有统计学意义的负相关关系。使用护垫情况对身体意象得分有显著影响；分娩次数、尿失禁持续时间和频率与自尊有关；尿失禁生活质量与尿失禁持续时间和频率以及护垫使用情况有关。
得出的结论是，大多数尿失禁女性的身体意象为负面，其中一半以上的女性自尊水平中等或较低，生活质量中等。
