Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate the UI knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of Syrian females under temporary protection status in Turkey and compare it with Turkish females. Establishing societal standards surrounding urinary incontinence beliefs and attitudes can alter societal approaches to urinary incontinence. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the financial burden when urinary incontinence ceases to be an issue that needs to be hidden. Additionally, as females become more aware of urinary incontinence, urinary incontinence symptoms, urinary incontinence prevention, and treatment approaches, the number of patients receiving help for incontinence will increase.
