Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form

  It is a reliable and useful form developed to examine the effect of UI on quality of life. There are questions on the scale that include evaluating the effect of UI on frequency, amount, causes and burden of care. The scale is of likert type and consists of four dimensions. The first dimension includes the frequency of the UI, the second dimension the amount of the UI, the third dimension the impact of the UI on daily life, and the fourth dimension the situations that cause the UI. The maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 21, and 8 points and above define the UI that causes discomfort.

  This form was applied to the patients immediately after the patient examination at the urology clinic.

• Zarit Burden Interview

  The caregiving burden scale was used to evaluate the difficulty of providing care experienced by caregivers. 0-20 points from the scale indicate "never a burden of care'', 21-40 points indicate "burden of care rarely'', 41-60 points indicate "burden of care quite frequently'' and 61-88 points indicate "burden of care nearly always''.

  This form was applied to the patients immediately after the patient examination at the urology clinic.
