Urinary Incontinence in Working Women: A Comparison Study

Abstract: Incontinence is a prevalent condition in working women. Discrepancies exist in the nature of the urine loss and strategies used to manage incontinence. Treatment also differs for those women who report urine loss to healthcare providers. Most women want to learn more about incontinence. Secondary prevention strategies need to be tailored and tested to meet symptoms and concerns for women in different work settings.

“…For a more efficient management during the workday, being able to use the restroom, change clothes or change the lining/pad, as well as transference to another sector with reduction of activities that require greater physical exertion and having a restroom close to the workplace are facilitating factors. This was also made clear in other investigations, in which the working women reported easy access to a restroom and no limitations imposed on frequency of use were facilitating measures for UI control (11) . During the workday, some obstacles to interrupting work to use the restroom were reported.…”

Comparando-se dois grupos de mulheres trabalhadoras, a maioria (70,5%) tinha idade superior a 40 anos (16) . No entanto, em dois estudos desenvolvidos com mulheres brasileiras, não se observou associação significativa entre a idade e a IU (14,24) .…”

“…Na literatura, observou-se, que estudos recentes têm analisado o impacto causado pela IU nas atividades ocupacionais e isso tem chamado a atenção dos pesquisadores, uma vez que os resultados têm mostrado que a IU traz conseqüências tanto na vida pessoal como no desempenho profissional destas mulheres, causando um grande impacto na qualidade de vida desta população. Estima-se um aumento do número de idosos, especialmente do sexo feminino, assim, o número de mulheres trabalhadoras na fase do climatério tenderá a crescer e, como conseqüência, o número de casos de IU em mulheres profissionalmente ativas (4,(13)(14)(15)(16) .…”
