Amaç: Üriner inkontinansı olan bireylerin baş etme davranışları ve yaşam kalitesinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma, 4 Kasım 2016-30 Mart 2017 tarihleri arasında, Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Üroloji Kliniği ve Polikliniğinde, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 120 hasta ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında, 'Birey Tanıtım, Anket formu' ve 'İnkontinans Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği' kullanılmıştır. Araştırma için etik kuruldan ve araştırmanın yapıldığı kurumdan yazılı izin alınmıştır. Verilerin analizinde t-testi, varyans analizi, korelasyon analizi ve Mann Whitney U analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan bireylerin %55'i kadındır, %39,2'si stres tipi inkontinans tanısı almıştır ve bireylerin baş etme davranışlarından en çok 'sıvı emici ped/hazır bez kullanma' baş etme davranışını kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, inkontinanslı bireylerin yaşam kalitesi ölçeği toplam puanları 60.74±16,29 olarak belirlenmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda; kadınların yaşam kalitesi puan ortalamasının erkeklerden daha yüksek (64,15±16,44); 65 yaş üstü olan, kronik hastalığı olan ve inkontinansı mikst tipi olanların yaşam kalitesi puan ortalamasının daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Üriner inkontinans sıklığı ve süresinin artmasının yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilediği (p<0,05), bireylerin baş etme davranışlarına göre yaşam kalitesi puanları arasında anlamlı fark olmadığı (p>0,05) saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda, üriner inkontinans sıklığı ve süresinin artmasıyla yaşam kalitesinin olumsuz etkilendiği, bireylerin baş etme davranışlarının yaşam kalitesi puan ortalamasını etkilemediği bulunmuştur.

Objective: This research is a descriptive study carried out to examine the coping behaviors and the quality of life in patients with urinary incontinence. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 120 patients who accepted to participate in the study at the Urology and Polyclinic Department of Ege University Medical Faculty between November 2016-March 2017. 'Questionnaire' and 'Incontinence Quality of Life Scale' were used to collect data. For research, written approval from the ethical committee and the organization where research was carried out was obtained. Data were tested percentage distributions, variance analysis and t-test. Results: It was observed that 55% of individuals included in research were females, 39.2% had stress type of urinary incontinence and the top coping behaviors with incontinence were 'using hydrophilic pad/ready pad'. It was found individuals' total scores of quality of life were 60.74±16.29, women's quality of life scores were higher than men (64.15±16.44). The scores of individuals over 65 years of age and those that have a chronic disease and those that have mix type of incontinence had lower quality of life (p<0.05), an increase in the frequency and length of urinary incontinence affect quality of life adversely (p<0.05), and there wasn't significant difference between quality of life scores and coping behaviors of individuals (p>0.05). Conclusion: The result of this research, it was found that the increase in the frequency and length of urinary incontinence affect quality of life adversely and the coping behaviors of individuals didn't affect the quality of life scores.
