                            <p>Aim: This study aims to examine the effect of urinary incontinence awareness training on the level of knowledge and awareness of urinary incontinence in women over 60 years of age.Method: The study consisted of volunteer subjects over 60 years of age who applied to Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic between October and November 2023 and met the inclusion criteria. Participants were given &quot;Urinary Incontinence Awareness Training.&quot; The participants were asked to complete the Sociodemographic Information Form, Prolapse and Incontinence Information Questionnaire, Incontinence Short Test, and Pelvic Floor Health Information Test before and after the training.Results: Thirty-two women over 60 years of age participated in the study. The mean age of the women was 68±5.86 years. Of the participants, 25% had a family member with urinary incontinence. 93.8% stated that urinary incontinence was a health problem, and 84.3% stated that they would not consult a doctor if they had urinary incontinence. There was a statistically significant difference between the Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire, Incontinence Short Test, and Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Test scores before and after the training (p&amp;lt;0.05).Conclusion: In line with the study&#039;s results, it was observed that the training given to women over 60 about urinary incontinence awareness effectively increased urinary incontinence awareness and pelvic floor muscle self-efficacy. Further studies with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up are needed.</p></trans-abstract>

Katılımcılara “Üriner İnkontinans Farkındalık Eğitimi” verilmiştir. Eğitim öncesinde ve sonrasında katılımcılardan Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formunu, Prolaps ve İnkontinans Bilgi Anketi, İnkontinans Kısa Testi ve Pelvik Taban Sağlığı Bilgi Testini doldurmaları istenmiş, anketler eğitim öncesi ve sonrasında tekrarlanmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 60 yaş üzerinde 32 kadın katılmıştır. Kadınların yaş ortalaması 68±5,86 yıl idi. Katılımcıların %25’inin çevre ve ailesinde idrar kaçıran birey vardı. %93,8’i idrar kaçırmanın bir sağlık sorunu olduğunu, %84,3’ü idrar kaçırma sorunu yaşarsa doktora başvurmayacağını ifade etti. Eğitim öncesinde ve eğitim sonrasında Prolaps ve İnkontinans Bilgi Anketi, İnkontinans Kısa Testi ve Pelvik Taban Sağlığı Bilgi Testi puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardı (p&amp;lt;0,05).Sonuç: Araştırmanın sonuçları doğrultusunda 60 yaş üstü kadınlara üriner inkontinans farkındalığı ile ilgili verilen eğitimin üriner inkontinans farkındalık ve pelvik taban kası öz etkililiklerini artırmada etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Daha büyük örneklem sayısı ve uzun süreli takiple yapılacak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.</p></abstract>
