Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Knowledge Assessment Scales for Dementia and Urinary Incontinence in Community Older People	20 weeks	The scale was developed by Hui Sun et al. to assess the level of knowledge about dementia and urinary incontinence among elderly individuals living in the community. The original language of the scale is Chinese and was translated into English by the researchers. The two knowledge assessment scales for dementia and urinary incontinence consist of 12 and 8 items, respectively. The model fit indicators of both met the criteria of confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach'sα was 0.82 and 0.70, respectively. The completion rate and completion time of the two scales were 83.51% and 4.22±1.90 minutes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF)	20 weeks	The severity of incontinence and its impact on the quality of life of the participants will be assessed with the ICIQ-SF. The ICIQ-SF consists of 6 items that question the type and frequency of urinary incontinence and the impact of incontinence on the individual's quality of life. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0-21. An increase in the total score indicates an increase in the severity of incontinence.
Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL)	20 weeks	The participants' quality of life will be assessed with the I-QOL, which was specifically developed for urinary incontinence. The I-QOL is a scale consisting of 22 items and 3 subgroups that questions thoughts such as anxiety and depression that develop due to incontinence and the reflection of these thoughts on life. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0-100, and higher scores indicate better quality of life.
Standardize Mini Mental State (SMMS)	20 weeks	SMMS will be used to assess the cognitive status of the participants. SMMS is a scale consisting of 11 items and 5 subgroups that measure cognitive functions. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0-30, and it is recommended that those who score 24 and below be evaluated for dementia.
Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL)	20 weeks	The independence of the participants in their daily living activities will be assessed with the IADL. The IADL is a scale consisting of 8 items that assess instrumental daily living activities. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0-24, and an increase in the score indicates an increase in the level of independence.
