Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of anal incontinence among Hungarian women who have given birth at least once before, and to examine the impact of anal incontinence on the quality of life and physical activity of these women. A further aim of our study is to adapt the Hungarian version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Bowels (ICIQ-B) and to assess its validity and reliability.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Adaptation, validity and reliability of the Hungarian version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire-Bowels (ICIQ-B)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
Evaluating with statistical analysis the content/face validity, internal consistency, construct validity, test-retest reproducibility, discriminant validity and convergent validity.
Anal Incontinence Impact on Quality of Life
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
Assessing with questionnaire: International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire-Bowels (ICIQ-B). The ICIQ-B is a patient-completed questionnaire to assess the symptoms and impact on quality of life (QoL) of anal incontinence (including flatus incontinence). The ICIQ-B consists of 21 items, divided into three domains: Bowel pattern (1 - 21), bowel control (0 - 28), Quality of life (0 - 26). Seventeen items are scored items and the remaining four are unscored. Higher scores indicate more symptoms.
Anal Incontinence Impact on Physical Activity
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
Assessing with questionnaire: Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was developed by WHO to monitor physical activity in countries. It collects information from 16 questions (P1-P16) on participation in physical activity in three domains (Workplace activity, Travel to and from places, Leisure activities) and sedentary behavior. Metabolic equivalent (MET) values are applied to the time variables according to the intensity of the activity (moderate or high). The application of MET values to activity levels allows the calculation of total physical activity.
Secondary Outcomes
- Global Quality of Life(Through study completion, an average of 3 years)
- Additional pelvic floor symptoms(Through study completion, an average of 3 years)
