Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
