Objectives: to analyze urinary incontinence prevalence and severity in prostatectomized men assessed by three different instruments. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 152 men. The pad test, pad used, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (self-report) were considered. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation, Kappa index, considering a significance level of 0.05. Results: urinary incontinence prevalence was 41.4%, 46.7% and 80.3% according to pad used, pad test and self-report. Positive correlations and moderate to poor agreement were found between the instruments. As for severity, most participants had mild incontinence. The largest number of cases of mild and severe incontinence was identified by self-report. Conclusions: the self-report showed higher values for prevalence of mild and severe severity levels. Through the identified differences, we propose that the objective assessment (pad used and pad test) be associated with individuals’ perception (self-report) to better estimate prevalence and severity.

Objetivo: avaliar a adequação e utilidade de aplicativos móveis voltados para reabilitação da incontinência urinária na população masculina. Método: estudo descritivo, realizado com aplicativos direcionados à reabilitação da incontinência urinária masculina. Os aplicativos foram obtidos na Play Store e App Store. A busca foi realizada entre 3 e 10 de maio de 2021, em Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram utilizados os termos “incontinência urinária”, “incontinencia urinaria”, “urinary incontinence” e “Kegel” para seleção. Os aplicativos foram descritos e avaliados conforme estabelecido nos itens da Applications Scoring System. Resultados: Vinte e dois aplicativos foram selecionados. Três eram específicos para homens; três abordavam exercícios para fortalecimento da musculatura pélvica e diário miccional simultaneamente; e cinco eram compatíveis com ambas as lojas virtuais. Conclusão: a maioria dos aplicativos disponíveis possui funcionalidades e informações limitadas acerca da incontinência urinária masculina. Espera-se que esse estudo contribua para o desenvolvimento de softwares mais abrangentes e adequados à população masculina com incontinência urinária.

Objetivo: evaluar la idoneidad y utilidad de las aplicaciones móviles para la rehabilitación de la incontinencia urinaria en la población masculina. Método: estudio descriptivo, realizado con aplicaciones dirigidas a la rehabilitación de la incontinencia urinaria masculina. Las aplicaciones se obtuvieron de Play Store y App Store. La búsqueda se realizó entre el 3 y el 10 de mayo de 2021 en Minas Gerais, Brasil. Para la selección se utilizaron los términos “incontinência urinária”, “incontinencia urinaria”, “urinary incontinence” e “Kegel”. Las solicitudes fueron descritas y evaluadas según lo establecido en los ítems del Applications Scoring System. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 22 aplicaciones. Tres eran específicos para hombres; tres abordaban ejercicios para fortalecer la musculatura pélvica y miccional simultáneamente; y cinco eran compatibles con ambas salas virtuales. Conclusión: la mayoría de las aplicaciones disponibles tienen funcionalidades e información limitada sobre la incontinencia urinaria masculina. Se espera que este estudio contribuya al desarrollo de softwares más completos y adecuados para la población masculina con incontinencia urinaria.

Objective: to evaluate the suitability and usefulness of mobile apps aimed at urinary incontinence rehabilitation in the male population. Method: descriptive study, carried out with apps directed to the rehabilitation of male urinary incontinence. The apps were obtained from the Play Store and App Store. The search was conducted between May 3 and 10, 2021, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The terms "urinary incontinence", "incontinencia urinaria", "urinary incontinence", and "Kegel" were used for selection. The applications were described and evaluated as established in the Applications Scoring System items. Results: Twenty-two apps were selected. Three were specific for men; three addressed exercises for pelvic muscle strengthening and voiding diary simultaneously; and five were compatible with both online stores. Conclusion: most of the available apps have limited functionality and information about male urinary incontinence. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more comprehensive and appropriate software for the male urinary incontinent population.

Objective: To translate, adapt, and validate the Urinary Incontinence Scale After Radical Prostatectomy for Brazil. Method: Methodological study: cross-cultural adaptation (translation, synthesis, back translation, expert committee (n=25), pre-testing (n=40) and presentation to original authors) and evaluation of measurement properties (n=80). Data were collected between January 2018 and February 2019 in an oncology unit. The calculated measurement properties: structural validity, hypothesis testing, criterion validity and reliability. Results: The Brazilian version was called Escala de Incontinência Urinária Pós-Prostatectomia Radical. One item was excluded due to low factor loading (0.322). A significant correlation was identified between the total score of the scale and instruments applied (p<0.001). Incontinent men had higher scores on the total scale in relation to continents (p<0.001). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.94 and composite reliability was 0.97. Conclusion: The Brazilian version was considered valid and reliable for the assessment of urinary incontinence in prostatectomized patients.
