CARACTERIZAÇÃO DE GESTANTES E TRIAGEM DE PERDA URINÁRIA PELO QUESTIONÁRIO ICIQ-SF

Abstract

Urinary incontinence (IU) is defined by the International Continuum Society (ICS) as any involuntary loss of urine, and may be divided according to the symptoms in: stress urinary incontinence, bladder hyperactivity (urgency), or mixed incontinence (urgency plus stress). The prevalence of I.U. in pregnant women is variable, from 0.7 to 35%, with greater impact during the third trimester of pregnancy due to the increase in pregnancy weight and decreases significantly in the postpartum period. The objective of this study is to verify the prevalence of urinary incontinence in pregnant women with high risk and non-risk pregnancies. Such study is necessary to know which group of pregnant women presents a higher prevalence of I.U. and check the incidence of urinary symptoms. This is a cross-sectional and quantitative observational study, where instruments for performing the Urinary Incontinence analysis will be applied to two groups of pregnant women, with high risk and no risk. After the data collection of the questionnaires, they will be plotted in Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet. In this will be applied the double typing technique for the data to be matched. Next, graphs will be elaborated for the analysis of the two groups studied, in order to observe which will obtain a higher prevalence of urinary incontinence.
