“…Reported prevalence is highly variable based on cancer type, surgical method, and outcome measurement, with urinary incontinence rates ranging from 5% to 70% (most studies 25-45%) and fecal incontinence between 9% and 68% [10], increasing with age [11]. The resulting loss of urinary or bowel control can have profound emotional and practical impacts, leading to social seclusion, sexual intimacy struggles, embarrassment, diminished self-esteem, and reduced overall QoL [12,13]. Coping with constant leakage and involuntary loss of basic bodily function control presents unique challenges for cancer survivors' psychological well-being and sexual function, among other domains [14,15].…”

Background: Prostate and colorectum cancers rank among the most common cancers, and incontinence is a significant postsurgical issue affecting the physical and psychological well-being of cancer survivors. Social media, particularly YouTube, has emerged as a vital source of health information. While YouTube offers valuable content, users must exercise caution due to potential misinformation. Objective: This study aims to assess the quality of publicly available YouTube videos related to incontinence after pelvic cancer surgery. Methods: A search on YouTube related to “Incontinence after cancer surgery” was performed, and 108 videos were analyzed. Multiple quality assessment tools (DISCERN, GQS, JAMA, PEMAT, and MQ-VET) and statistical analyses (descriptive statistics and intercorrelation tests) were used to evaluate the characteristics and popularity, educational value, quality, and reliability of these videos, relying on novel graphical representation techniques such as Sankey and Chord diagrams. Results: Strong positive correlations were found among quality rating scales, emphasizing agreement. The performed graphical analysis reinforced the reliability and validity of quality assessments. Conclusions: This study found strong correlations among five quality scales, suggesting their effectiveness in assessing health information quality. The evaluation of YouTube videos consistently revealed “high” quality content. Considering the source is mandatory when assessing quality, healthcare and academic institutions are reliable sources. Caution is advised with ad-containing videos. Future research should focus on policy improvements and tools to aid patients in finding high-quality health content.

“…The presence of embarrassment and denial about the existence of incontinence, the hope for spontaneous recovery, and the fear of treatment make it difficult to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in society [3]. The prevalence of UI worldwide ranges from 19% to 88%, while in Turkey, it ranges from 20.5% to 68.8% [4][5][6]. The reasons for this variability are attributed to differences in the definition of urinary incontinence, studies being conducted on different groups, and the use of different data collection methods.…”

Aim: This study was conducted to determine urinary incontinence awareness, attitude, and frequency among female students studying at a faculty of health sciences. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 458 female students enrolled in a university's faculty of health sciences between February 2023 and April 2023. The data of the study were collected using a "Personal Information Form" and an "Incontinence Awareness and Attitude Scale" prepared by the researchers. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and ANOVA test were used to evaluate the data. Results: The mean age of the students was 21.17±1.70, and only 2% had been diagnosed with urinary incontinence during their lifetime. The mean scores of the students in the sub-dimensions of incontinence awareness were found as follows: factors affecting acceptance of incontinence as a health problem 32.98±5.13, health motivation 7.15±2.51, coping with urinary incontinence 17.25±5.77, limitation 10.54±3.38, and fear of urinary leakage 11.47±4.34. Conclusion: The mean score of female students on the urinary incontinence awareness scale, factors preventing acceptance of incontinence as a health problem, coping with urinary incontinence, health motivation, and limitation sub-dimensions were found to be at a good level.

“…Among them, pregnancy and childbirth are the primary risk factors [2] . Postpartum urinary incontinence refers to urinary incontinence symptoms in women related to pregnancy and childbirth, with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) being the primary type.Postpartum urinary incontinence, if not treated or recovered in time, may increase the prevalence of urinary incontinence in middle-aged and elderly women, affecting the patients' social, psychological, work, and sexual function [3] , and it has become one of the five common chronic diseases threatening women's health [4] . Therefore, by studying the epidemiology and risk factors of postpartum urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, it can provide a theoretical basis for the early prevention and treatment of this disease.…”

Postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) is one of the common symptoms in women after pregnancy and delivery. With the development of society and the increasing age of pregnant women, the incidence of PSUI has been rising due to an increase in the number of older mothers. PSUI seriously affects the quality of life of postpartum women and can lead to postpartum anxiety and depression. Therefore, understanding the influencing factors of PSUI and early effective intervention and treatment are of great significance. This article provides a review of the influencing factors and prevention of PSUI, aiming to provide reference for reducing the incidence of PSUI.
