Özet
PURPOSE: The study was performed to determine how urinary incontinence (UI) affects women's daily lives and sexual health and how UI is perceived. DESIGN: Qualitative descriptive phenomenological design was used. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The study was conducted in a family health center in Konya, Turkey, with official permission of the ministry of health. Study participants comprised 101 women with UI, but data from 12 women were excluded because they refused to respond to questions; therefore, data analysis is based on responses from 89 respondents. METHODS: Data were compiled via in-depth interviews using a semistructured questionnaire. Data collection and analysis processes were carried out simultaneously. Study data were examined using phenomenological content and thematic analyses. Document portraits and a code map of data were created using qualitative data analysis software. RESULTS: Participants' mean age was 46.25 (SD: 11.68) years. Thirty-three codes were identified to detect the effects of UI on women's daily lives. These codes were reviewed and combined into 5 main themes: religious issues, sexual problems, feeling restricted, psychological exposure, and internalization. CONCLUSIONS: Urinary incontinence causes women to experience environmental, psychological, and religious challenges during daily life. Healthcare professionals should give counsel and assistance by determining the issues for women with UI to promote coping with problems and offer referral for specialist care when necessary.
