Introdução: A Organização Mundial de Saúde identificou a incontinência urinária (IU) como uma das prioridades em saúde que tem impacto na qualidade de vida (QdV) das pessoas porque afeta diferentes aspetos da vida e conduz a uma série de consequências psicológicas, sociais e físicas. Objetivos: Identificar a prevalência de IU em mulheres no concelho de Seia e avaliar o impacto da IU na qualidade de vida dessas mulheres. Metodologia: Estudo do tipo observacional descritivo e de características analíticas, com uma amostra de conveniência de entre a população feminina do concelho de Seia (n=416), com uma subamostra das mulheres incontinentes (n=117). Foram utilizados um questionário e o instrumento de medida Contilife®. A análise inferencial foi realizada pelo teste Qui-Quadrado, teste t de Student e medida de Likelihood Ratio (LR). A consistência interna foi avaliada pelo Alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: A prevalência de IU entre os participantes foi de 28,1%, correspondendo a uma prevalência de 1,02% para a população de Seia, com uma associação significativa entre a paridade e a presença de IU tendo o valor de LR grande. A IU tem impacto na QdV das mulheres (59%), medida pelo Contilife (média 7,59 na QdV global), sendo que a IU mista foi o tipo que causou mais impacto (73,3%). Conclusão: A IU feminina tem impacto na qualidade de vida com valores estatisticamente significativos em todas as dimensões do Contilife, embora classificado como impacto baixo. A fisioterapia pode melhorar o bem-estar psicológico, físico e social destas mulheres, levando a uma melhor qualidade de vida tornando os fisioterapeutas como primeira linha de contacto, não só na quantificação destas mulheres como também na prevenção e tratamento desta condição.
ABSTRACT - Introduction: The World Health Organization has identified urinary incontinence (UI) as a health priority that impacts people's quality of life (QoL) because it affects different aspects of life and leads to a series of psychological, social, and physical consequences. Objectives: To identify the prevalence of UI in women in the municipality of Seia and assess the impact of UI on their quality of life. Methodology: Observational descriptive study with analytical characteristics, with a convenience sample from the female population of the municipality of Seia (n=416), with a sub-sample of incontinent women (n=117). A questionnaire and the Contilife® measuring instrument were used. Inferential analysis was performed by the Chi-square test, Student's t-test, and Likelihood Ratio (LR) measure. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha. Results: The prevalence of UI among the participants was 28.1%, corresponding to a prevalence of 1.02% for the population of Seia, with a significant association between parity and the presence of UI having the LR value large. UI has an impact on the QoL of women (59%), measured by the Contilife (mean 7.59 in overall QoL), with mixed UI being the type that caused the most impact (73.3%). Conclusion: Female UI has an impact on quality of life with statistically significant values on all dimensions of the Contilife, although classified as low impact. Physical Therapy can improve the psychological, physical, and social well-being of these women, leading to a better quality of life making physiotherapists the first line of contact, not only in the quantification of these women but also in the prevention and treatment of this condition.
