Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of a 4-week video-based education program in enhancing urinary continence among women with urinary incontinence referred for pelvic floor rehabilitation The main question it aims to answer is :

• Does a structured video-based education program reduce the symptoms of urinary incontinence before any pelvic floor muscle strengthening ? Researchers will compare this program to a paper document (providing similar information) to see if this improves urinary continence in women suffering from urinary incontinence. Participants will :
• receive either the video-based education program or a paper information document (providing similar information) prior to the sessions with the physiotherapist
• then follow pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions with the physiotherapist according to usual practice
• complete the urinary incontinence questionnaire after the 4-week video education program (intervention group) or 4 weeks after receiving the paper document (control group), and after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session with the physiotherapist and at the end of the sessions
• will be monitored at 1 and 2 years to evaluate urinary incontinence following the intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Urinary incontinence score comparison between the 2 groups

  the urinary incontinence score will measured using the ICIQ-SF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form), ranging from 0 (corresponding to 'no urinary incontinence') to 21 (corresponding to 'very severe urinary incontinence'), collected after the video-based education program in the intervention group (scheduled over 4 weeks) and within the same timeframe in the control group (which received only the information document)

  At the end of the video-based education program (5 weeks after inclusion)

Secondary Outcomes (25)

• Urinary incontinence score evolution in the intervention group

  from inclusion until the end of the video education program (5 weeks after inclusion)

• Urinary incontinence score evolution in the control group

  from inclusion to 5 weeks following the distribution of the paper information document

• Number of pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions required in the intervention group

  ICIQ-SF score recorded after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session, through end of rehabilitation, an average of 3 months

• Number of pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions required in the control group

  ICIQ-SF score recorded after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session, through end of rehabilitation, an average of 3 months

• Urinary incontinence score evolution during the pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions in the intervention group

  ICIQ-SF score recorded after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session, through end of rehabilitation, an average of 3 months
