Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse knowledge

    Time frame: Baseline

    The Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) is used to assess knowledge. It consists of two distinct scales: the first one measures knowledge about urinary incontinence knowledge, while the second one measures knowledge about pelvic organ prolapse. The total score of each scale can range from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.

  2. Health seeking behavior

    Time frame: Baseline

    Participants report whether they have sought health care for urinary incontinence. The outcome is the proportion of participants who have ever sought care, among those who reported a history of urinary incontinence.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Urinary incontinence

    Time frame: Baseline

    The International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) was used to gather information about the symptoms of urinary incontinence. It contains six questions. The total score can range from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

  2. Practice of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)

    Time frame: Baseline

    The PFMT practice scale of the Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Patient reported Outcome Measures (PFMT-P) was used to assess women's practice of PFMT. Questions dealt with source of knowledge about PFMT, practice and correct performance.
