简要总结
This study aimed to investigate the UI knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of Syrian females under temporary protection status in Turkey and compare it with Turkish females. Establishing societal standards surrounding urinary incontinence beliefs and attitudes can alter societal approaches to urinary incontinence. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the financial burden when urinary incontinence ceases to be an issue that needs to be hidden. Additionally, as females become more aware of urinary incontinence, urinary incontinence symptoms, urinary incontinence prevention, and treatment approaches, the number of patients receiving help for incontinence will increase.
详细描述
This study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of urinary incontinence (UI) among Syrian women under temporary protection in Turkey, compared to Turkish women. Involving 327 participants (186 Turkish, 141 Syrian), the study assesses sociodemographic data, gynecological and incontinence-related questions, and the Urinary Incontinence Awareness and Attitude Scale (URINAS). The study underscores the impact of sociocultural and economic factors on gender-specific health disorders, especially among refugees, and emphasizes the need for culture-specific interventions to enhance UI awareness among immigrant women. The findings can offer valuable insights for developing health policies and awareness programs aimed at improving UI management and reducing the stigma associated with it.

The scale consists of five sub-parameters: factors that prevent it from being accepted as a health problem, coping with UI, health motivation, restriction, and fear of UI. The answers given to each statement on the scale are in 5-point Likert type. The scale did not have a total score. Scores from sub-parameters: for the factors that prevent it from being accepted as a health problem sub-parameter (8-40); for the health motivation sub-parameter (5-25); for the coping with urinary incontinence subscale (6-30); for the restriction sub-parameter (3-15); It is (4-20) for the fear of UI subscale. On the basis of the median score, the incontinence awareness and attitude scale were interpreted as poor, moderate, or good.
