Urinary incontinence (UI) is common among pregnant women. This growing health problem affects physical, emotional, and social well-being. This study determined the prevalence of UI and associated factors, and evaluated screening needs.
A total of 330 pregnant women visiting the antenatal clinic in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) were surveyed. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire and analysed with SPSS software version 22.0.
Overall, 84.5% (n = 279) of the pregnant women had experienced UI. Multiple logistic regression identified body mass index (BMI), presence of other illness, and consumption of coffee as major risk factors for UI. The majority of pregnant women preferred early screening for UI.
A great majority of pregnant women in this study experienced UI. Higher BMI and the presence of other medical conditions are significant risk factors for UI and early screening is required. The need for universal education about UI and pelvic floor muscle exercise is warranted and can potentially prevent postnatal UI and UI later in life.
尿失禁(UI)在孕妇中很常见。这个日益严重的健康问题会影响身体、情感和社会福祉。本研究确定了尿失禁的患病率及相关因素,并评估了筛查需求。
对马来西亚理科大学医院(USM)产前诊所的330名孕妇进行了调查。通过自行填写问卷收集数据,并使用SPSS 22.0软件进行分析。
总体而言,84.5%(n = 279)的孕妇经历过尿失禁。多元逻辑回归确定体重指数(BMI)、其他疾病的存在以及咖啡摄入量是尿失禁的主要危险因素。大多数孕妇倾向于早期筛查尿失禁。
本研究中的绝大多数孕妇经历过尿失禁。较高的BMI和其他疾病的存在是尿失禁的重要危险因素,需要进行早期筛查。有必要对尿失禁和盆底肌肉锻炼进行普及教育,这可能会预防产后尿失禁和日后生活中的尿失禁。
