Brief Summary

PRAFAB assesses both the objective and subjective aspects of urinary incontinence. While differing from other questionnaires in this respect, it consists of only five questions. Today, there is a need for multidimensional and easy-to-use scales that can assess the effects of incontinence on quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the PRAFAB questionnaire in women with urinary incontinence.
