Overactive Bladder Quality of Life | Other: Assigned Interventions | Not Applicable |
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Information, Motivation, Behavioral Skills Model (IMB) on urinary incontinence and quality of life in men with overactive bladder.
This is a single-center, parallel-group, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial.
This study was conducted between February 2018 and February 2019, with a total of 60 male patients admitted to the urology clinic of a training and research hospital. Patients over the age of 18, male, and with overactive bladder were included in the study.
Participants were randomized into two equal groups: the intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Structured bladder training with the IMB model was applied to the intervention group. This model was not applied to the control group. The primary outcome was the mean score change over the severity of incontinence measured by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). The other outcomes were measured by the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7), and Urinary Incontinence Information Rating scores. All outcome measures were evaluated before and 6 months after the training. Bladder training with IMB model was found to be effective at ameliorating urinary incontinence and improving quality of life in patients with an overactive bladder.

---|---|
No Intervention: No Intervention: Control group
Patients in the control group were given usual care by a health professional who was not involved in the study and who worked in the Department of Urology. After the end of the study, the patients in the control group were also given structured bladder training similar to the patients in the intervention group.
|
|
Active Comparator: the IMB model
Structured bladder training was applied to the patients in the intervention group via the IMB model.
|
Other: Assigned Interventions
Information: In the information step of the bladder training program given through the IMB model, training was given about pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder program formation, and lifestyle change. The training was conducted face-to-face by the nurse researcher for about 15-20 min, and the training booklet was given to the patients. Motivation: The patients in the intervention group were interviewed by the nurse researcher by phone or face-to-face in the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months after the training. The patients were motivated by providing information and counseling on the necessary issues. This process was carried out using motivational interviewing principles. Patients were given positive behavioral feedback and encouraged to control urinary incontinence. Behavioral Skills: Behavioral skills related to urinary incontinence were evaluated 6 months after the training,together with their effects on urinary incontinence symptom score and quality of life. |
- A Change on Incontinence Severity Measured by The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) [ Time Frame: 20 minutes before and 6 months after the training ]The primary outcome measure was the mean score change from baseline incontinence severity at 6 months measured by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). The ICIQ-SF consists of a total of six items, including the birth date, gender and urinary incontinence characteristics. The score range of this scale is 0-21. High scores indicate increased urinary incontinence severity.
- The Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) [ Time Frame: 20 minutes before and 6 months after the training ]UDI-6 is short forms of the scales developed by Uebersax et al. with six and seven questions, respectively. The Turkish validity study of these forms was made by Cam et al., who reported a Cronbach's alpha coefficient for UDI-6 as 0.74. In this study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for UDI-6 was 0.786 before training and 0.746 after the training implementations. Each item was scored between zero and 3, and the total score was calculated in the range of zero to 100. Higher scores obtained from these scales indicate that bladder function is worse.
- The Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) [ Time Frame: 20 minutes before and 6 months after the training ]IIQ-7 is short forms of the scales developed by Uebersax et al. with six and seven questions, respectively. The Turkish validity study of these forms was made by Cam et al., who reported a Cronbach's alpha coefficient for IIQ-7 as 0.87. In this study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for IIQ-7 was 0.933 before training and 0.902 after the training implementations. Each item was scored between zero and 3, and the total score was calculated in the range of zero to 100. Higher scores obtained from these scales indicate that bladder function is worse.
- The Urinary Incontinence Information Evaluation Form (UIIEF) [ Time Frame: 20 minutes before and 6 months after the training ]Urinary Incontinence Information Evaluation Form (UIIEF) is an information form consisting of 10 multiple choice questions prepared by researchers literature-based and expert opinions. Each item is scored between 0-10 and the total score is calculated in the range of 0-100. The scores obtained from this form provide information about the change of information score means.
