“…The decreased quality of life of individuals with MS who have sexual dysfunctions is independent of illness progression and degree of disability [133]. A relationship between sexual dysfunctions and bladder problems has been found in many studies [118,132], as has one between urinary incontinence and sexual life, which affects HRQoL negatively [76,126,132,134].…”

The aim of this research was to assess the level of adaptation to multiple sclerosis (Sclerosis multiplex; MS) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the study population as well as to determine the relationship between biomedical factors related to the course of multiple sclerosis, adaptation to the disease, and HRQoL. Analysis of medical records, clinical and psychological interviews, the Extended Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Guy’s Neurological Disability Scale (GNDS), the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale 29 (MSIS-29) were collected from 137 patients with MS. It was found that there was a relation between motor impairment, neurological disability, adaptation to illness, and HRQoL; it was also found that there were negative correlations between adaptation to illness and the severity of lower-limb disability, fatigue, mood disorders, other problems related to MS, and upper-limb disability. Of all the symptoms, lower-limb disability, fatigue, and mood disorders had the strongest relation with adaptation. All of the analysed symptoms were found to correlate with HRQoL. Of all the symptoms, HRQoL was most affected by lower- and upper-limb disability, fatigue, other MS problems, and mood disorders.

“…The decision to seek treatment depended upon the duration of the symptoms, subjective perception of their severity, and a conviction that the symptoms might have been noticed by others. Very often, individuals with UI experience a psychological barrier in making use of social support due to an embarrassing nature of the symptoms [2, 17]. Other data [18] indicate that the general public is underinformed about UI.…”

Social support and knowledge of the disease have been shown to facilitate adaptation to a chronic disease. However, the adaptation process is not fully understood. We hypothesized that these factors can contribute to better adaptation to the disease through their impact on disease-related cognitive appraisal. To analyze the links between social support and the knowledge of the disease, on one hand, and disease-related appraisals, on the other hand, one hundred fifty-eight women with stress UI, aged 32 to 79, took part in the study. Questionnaire measures of knowledge of UI, social support, and disease-related appraisals were used in the study. The level of knowledge correlated significantly negatively with the appraisal of the disease as Harm. The global level of social support correlated significantly positively with three disease-related appraisals: Profit, Challenge, and Value. Four subgroups of patients with different constellations of social support and knowledge of the disease were identified in cluster analysis and were demonstrated to differ significantly on four disease-related appraisals: Profit, Challenge, Harm, and Value. Different cognitive appraisals of UI may be specifically related to social support and knowledge of the disease, with social support affective positive disease-related appraisals, and the knowledge affecting the appraisal of Harm.

“…The biometeorological factor may be an additional element affecting the quality of life of patients with SUi. Bidzan et al [23] performed a study with 55 perimenopausal SUi patients using an own questionnaire and the Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ C30). The biometeorological stimuli re-Physiother Quart 2022, 30 (2) vealed in the study as related to the assessment of the quality of life in patients with SUi were hotness and humidity.…”

IntroductionPractising high-impact sports, especially on a competitive level, has been identified nowadays as one of the risk factors of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The purpose of our study was to verify the effect of selected factors, like age, parity, the intensity of trainings, achieved sports level, type of discipline, or the duration of sports experience, on SUI symptoms in a group of elite female athletes.MethodsThe study involved 112 elite women athletes: 55 practising running and 57 practising cross-country skiing. A combined questionnaire, which included Urogenital Distress Inventory, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, King’s Health Questionnaire, and own career development questionnaire, was used as a research tool.ResultsThe prevalence of SUI in the studied female elite athletes was high (62.5%). No statistically significant differences regarding SUI symptoms were found between the group of skiers and the group of runners. A relationship between SUI occurrence and childbirth, but not age, was observed. A statistically significant relationship was revealed between the duration of sports practice and SUI occurrence (higher occurrence in the less experienced group). However, SUI occurrence did not correlate with the achieved sports level. A higher subjective assessment of the trainings intensity was correlated with a higher occurrence of SUI symptoms.ConclusionsThe occurrence of SUI in female runners and skiers depends on a history of giving birth, length of practising sports, and training intensity; it does not depend on age or the sports class.
