Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Üriner İnkontinans Farkındalık ve Tutum Ölçeği ve Ürogenital Distres Envanteri kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, One-Way ANOVA testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kadınların yaş ortalaması 44.31±7.83 yıldır. Katılımcıların Üriner İnkontinans Farkındalık ve Tutum Ölçeği sağlık sorunu olarak kabulünü engelleyen faktörler alt boyut ortalama puanı 22.22±6.69, sağlık motivasyonu alt boyut ortalama puanı 10.73±3.96, üriner inkontinans ile başetme alt boyut ortalama puanı 16.55±5.64, kısıtlanma alt boyut ortalama puanı 9.99±3.50 ve idrar kaçırma korkusu alt boyut ortalama puanı 11.32±4.49’dir. Ürogenital Distres Envanteri toplam ortalama puanı 46.26±23.10’dur.Sonuçlar: Öğrenim düzeyi yüksek, kronik kabızlık sorunu olan, epizyotomi uygulanan kadınların üriner inkontinansı sağlık sorunu olarak gördükleri, gelir düzeyi yüksek olanların üriner inkontinans nedeniyle daha hafif düzeyde kısıtlanma yaşadıkları, kronik herhangi bir hastalığı olan, sık idrar yolu enfeksiyonu ve vajinal enfeksiyon geçiren, kronik kabızlığı olan, sık sık öksüren ve menopoza giren kadınların daha fazla ürogenital distres semptomları yaşadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
