There are a variety of factors and influences, both internal and external, that may impact an individual's public toileting experience and may ultimately have repercussions for bladder health. This study sought to identify predominant constructs underlying a women's attitude towards using restrooms at work, at school, and in public in order to develop a conceptual model incorporating these themes. We performed a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional, survey-based study that included open-ended questions about limitations to restroom use using a mixed-methods approach. Qualitative data coding and analysis was performed on 12,583 quotes and, using an iterative inductive-deductive approach, was used to construct the conceptual framework. Our conceptual framework reveals a complicated interplay of personal contexts, situational influences, and behavioral strategies used by women to manage their bladder and bowel habits away from home. These findings can inform future research and public policy related to bladder health awareness related to toilet access in the workplace and in public.
有多种内部和外部的因素和影响可能会影响个人的公共如厕体验，并可能对膀胱健康产生影响。本研究旨在确定影响女性在工作、学校和公共场所使用厕所态度的主要因素，以建立一个包含这些主题的概念模型。我们采用混合方法对一项横断面调查研究进行了二次分析，该研究包括关于限制使用厕所的开放式问题。对 12583 个引语进行了定性数据分析和分析，并使用迭代归纳演绎方法构建了概念框架。我们的概念框架揭示了个人背景、情境影响以及女性在家外管理膀胱和肠道习惯所使用的行为策略之间复杂的相互作用。这些发现可以为未来与工作场所和公共场所厕所使用相关的膀胱健康意识以及与厕所获取相关的公共政策提供信息。
