Resumo: | Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a health problem with important consequences. It has a high prevalence in adult women.Despite this, only one third of the patients inform their doctor of their UI. This problem has not been very well studied in Portugal. Objectives: To determine UI prevalence, its characteristics and treatment expectations in women 40 or older. To determine the percentage that reported UI to their doctor and the reasons for not reporting. To establish the association between UI type, its gravity and age. To identify the explanatory factors for reporting UI to the doctor. Study type: Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive with analytic component. Setting: Senhora da Hora Health Centre, Portugal. Population: Women 40 or older, registered at the Sa da Hora Health Centre. Methods: Random sample of 400 women 40 years old or older registered at Senhora da Hora Health Centre. A self-questionnaire was applied. Statistic analysis: sample description, 2 test (compare ratio), logistic regression (explanatory factors for reporting UI). Results: Response rate: 71,75%. The prevalence of UI reached 35,2%. 59% of the incontinent women consider this problem as being very important. Only 34,2% report their problem to the doctor and the most frequent reasons not to communicate it were to consider it a normal event, part of ageing (25%) or to think that it would disappear without help (23%). The explanatory factors for reporting UI to the doctor were the quantity and the duration of the urine loss. Discussion/Conclusion: The UI prevalence in women is high. Only one third talked with the doctor about this problem. New studies are needed to evaluate the knowledge about UI and its treatment and to modify the behaviour of the patients/doctors in face of this problem. |

Tem uma elevada prevalência na mulher adulta. Apenas um terço das pacientes comunicam a IU ao seu médico. É um problema pouco estudado em Portugal. Objectivos: Determinar a prevalência, características e expectativas face ao tratamento de IU nas mulheres com idade = 40 anos. Determinar a proporção que fala sobre o problema ao médico e os motivos para não o fazerem. Verificar se existe associação entre o tipo e a gravidade de IU e a idade. Identificar os factores associados à comunicação da IU ao médico. Tipo de estudo: Observacional, transversal, descritivo com componente analítico. Local: Centro de Saúde da Senhora da Hora, Portugal. População de Estudo: Mulheres com idade =40 anos, inscritas no CS da Sª da Hora. Métodos: Amostra aleatória de 400 mulheres com idade =40 anos, inscritas no CS da Senhora da Hora. Aplicado questionário de auto-preenchimento. Análise estatística: descrição da amostra, teste de 2 (comparação de proporções), regressão logística (factores associados à comunicação). Resultados: Taxa de resposta: 71,75%. Prevalência de IU de 35,2%. Das mulheres incontinentes, 59% consideram este problema como tendo grande importância. Apenas 34,3% consultou algum médico sobre a IU, sendo os motivos mais frequentes para não o fazer o considerar que é normal, fazendo parte do envelhecimento (25%) ou pensar que passaria espontaneamente (23%). Têm maior probabilidade de abordar o assunto com o médico as incontinentes desde há mais tempo e com perdas de maior quantidade de urina. Discussão/Conclusão: A prevalência de IU nas mulheres é elevada. Apenas um terço abordou este problema com o médico. São necessários novos estudos para avaliar os conhecimentos sobre IU e seu tratamento de modo a modificar as atitudes das utentes/médicos face ao problema.Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v21i1.10106https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v21i1.10106Portuguese Journal of Family Medicine and General Practice; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2005): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 11-20Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 21 Núm. 1 (2005): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 11-20Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 21 N.º 1 (2005): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 11-202182-51812182-517310.32385/rpmgf.v21i1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10106https://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10106/9843Moura, Benedita Graçainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-09-17T11:58:31Zoai:ojs.rpmgf.pt:article/10106Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-09-17T11:58:31Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
