“…This finding is similar to breast cancer survivors who report adapting their clothing to avoid pain in the breast area following surgery [54]. Similarly, people with other chronic conditions report finding strategies to manage urinary incontinence such as modifying their fluid intake, changing underwear frequently, and using waterproof mattress protectors [55]. CRC survivors seem ill-prepared for how to manage long-term symptoms and treatment effects, and reports from survivors suggest these effects are underestimated by clinicians.…”

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is prevalent in the developed world. Favourable survival rates highlight the need to better understand CRC survivors' experiences of long-term impacts of treatment, which can in turn inform decision making. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesise CRC survivors' experiences of long-term impacts on health-related quality of life. Methods: We searched Medline, Embase and PsychINFO from inception to January 2019. Qualitative studies describing CRC survivors' experiences at least 1-year post-treatment were included. Study eligibility, quality assessment (COREQ guidelines), and data synthesis was performed independently by two reviewers and discussed with the study team. Results: Of 1363 papers retrieved, 20 reporting 15 studies met eligibility. Thematic synthesis produced 12 themes: symptoms, physical, social, psychological and sexual functioning, impact on relationships, informal care needs provided by family/friend, supportive care needs provided by healthcare professional, health care experiences, health behaviour, financial toxicity and occupational experiences. Stoma problems (e.g. leakage, skin irritation) were common in ostomates. Survivors with no/reversed stoma experienced unexpected, longterm altered and unpredictable bowel functioning. Survivors often regulated timing, amount and foods consumed to manage bowel functioning. Less common symptoms included fatigue, impaired sleep and anal pain. Stoma problems and altered bowel functioning impaired survivors' physical, social, sexual and psychological functioning. Cognitive functioning and heredity issues were not reported in any paper. Conclusion: CRC survivors experience ongoing symptoms and functioning impairments more than 1-year posttreatment completion. Many survivors find their own ways to manage symptoms rather than seek professional help. Follow-up care for CRC survivors should integrate screening for long-term effects and provide targeted supportive care.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the urinary incontinence (UI) subtype of women who present with complaints of urinary incontinence to our clinic, to identify risk factors related with this type and to determine the effects of sociodemographic features. Material and Method: This retrospective study was approved by Clinical Trials Ethics Committee in Malatya and included 386 patients who presented to Urology Clinic of Malatya Research and Education Hospital. Classification of the UI subtypes was performed using Turkish Version of International Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) which was validated by Cetinel et al. Comorbidities and other data of the patients were evaluated by asking the patients. Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.4 years (range: 18-92 years). The mean number of births was 4.1 (range 0-10) and 90.2% of the women were married. The mean BMI was 27.24 kg/m2. Stress urinary incontinence was found in 24 (6.3%) patients, urge type urinary incontinence was found in 94 (24.3%) patients and mixed type urinary incontinence was found in 268 (69.4) patients when the type of incontinence was questioned. From the comorbid diseases, diabetes mellitus was present in 74 patients (19,1%) while hypertension was present in 84 (21,8%) patients. There were statistically significant differences among UI and age and BMI. Discussion: Such diseases as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, lumbar disc hernia, and multiple sclerosis, birth trauma, past urogynecological surgery, age, BMI, and the number of births are risk factors for UI.

“…The psychological and physical impact of poststroke UI on stroke survivors has been explored in previous studies (Arkan et al., ; Kohler et al., ; Limampai et al., ; Pilcher & MacArthur, ; White et al., ). UI is associated with poststroke depression (Limampai et al., ; Pilcher & MacArthur, ); is seen as embarrassing (Pilcher & MacArthur, ), shameful and not to be discussed (Kohler et al., ); and is something that is never mentioned by health professionals (White et al., ).…”

“…UI poststroke has been identified as debasing (Kvigne & Kirkevold, ), embarrassing and depressing (Pilcher & MacArthur, ) and shameful (Kohler, Mayer, Kesselring, & Saxer, ) by stroke survivors. It has adverse impacts on daily life and psychological well‐being (Arkan, Beser, & Ozturk, ; White et al., ) and places a heavy burden on both stroke survivors (Kohler et al., ) and their carers (Arkan et al., ; Brittain & Shaw, ; Tseng, Huang, Yu, & Lou, ). UI poststroke is recognised as one of the top 10 priorities for stroke nursing research (Rowat et al., ).…”
