Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection in women, and it is more likely to occur during pregnancy due to mechanical and hormonal changes in pregnant women. Urinary tract infections can cause many complications for both mother and fetus. Given the roles of health behavior in the prevention of urinary tract infections and the nature of the theory of planned behavior-based education in behavioral change, the present study aimed to determine the effect of the theory of planned behavior-based education in teaching the urinary tract infection prevention behavior in pregnant women.Methods: The present study was a randomized controlled trial in which 100 pregnant women, who visited the comprehensive health service centers of Zarinshahr City, were randomly divided into two groups, intervention and control, containing 50 individuals. The data collection tools were a urine test and a questionnaire designed based on the theory of planned behavior. Five education sessions were held based on the constructs of the theory of planned behavior. We analyzed the effect of education review and data using independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney test, chi-square test, and repeated measures ANOVA (analysis of variance) one and three months after the educational intervention.Results: After implementing the educational intervention, the mean scores of knowledge and constructs of the theory of planned behavior significantly increased in the intervention group over time (P <0.001), while the difference was not significant in the control group over time. After the educational intervention, the incidence of urinary tract infections was 4.3 % in the intervention group and 21.3% in the control group.Conclusion: Given the positive effect of education based on the theory of planned behavior in changing the pregnant mothers' behavior, the theory can be used as a suitable intervention framework for implementing the educational programs to prevent urinary tract infections.Trial registration: Name: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials.

“…In the study, we examined the pregnant women's knowledge by measuring the existing problems before performing an educational intervention based on results of the pre-test, and then the pregnant mothers were received the necessary training in various elds such as recognizing symptoms of urinary tract infection, prevention methods, and testing to prevent urinary tract infections using the educational booklets and pamphlets, indicating an increase in the knowledge score of the intervention group after the program. The research nding was consistent with studies by Gonzalez et al (27), Haider et al (8), Indhumol et al (28). In the present study, the mean attitude score increased after the intervention, indicating the favorable effect of group discussion based on the theory of planned behavior.…”

“…It is also remarkable that no mobile technologies tapped into social media resources, although women in this study said they would like to be in touch with peers. This might be due to the assumption that women do not want to disclose their identities out of shame, even if women with incontinence tend to share their information on online platforms anonymously, which illustrates their need for contact with other women [ 2 ].…”

“…A systematic review showed that urinary incontinence affects quality of life on both psychological and physical aspects [ 6 ]. Women with SUI encounter a range of emotions: problems with intimate relations, depression, embarrassment, low self-esteem and even suicide [ 2 ]. SUI typically limits women in daily activities, such as exercises, or activities with relatives, as they could provoke leakage [ 1 ].…”

Background Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common among women and affects their quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle training is an effective conservative therapy, but only a minority of women seek help. E-health with pelvic floor muscle training is effective and increases access to care. To implement an e-Health intervention in a sustainable way, however, we need to understand what determines adoption. The aim is to investigate the barriers and facilitators to adopting an e-Health intervention among Dutch women with stress urinary incontinence. Methods Semi-structured telephonic interviews were carried out among participants of the Dutch e-Health intervention for women with stress urinary incontinence. Women were purposively sampled. The ‘Fit between Individuals, Task and Technology’ (FITT) framework was used for both the data collection and data analysis, to gain a more in-depth insight into the adoption of the intervention. Results Twenty women were interviewed, mean age 51 years and mostly highly educated. The adoption of e-Health for women with SUI mainly depends on the interaction between users and e-Health, and users and pelvic floor muscle training exercises. Facilitators for the adoption were the preference for an accessible self-management intervention, having a strong sense of self-discipline and having the ability to schedule the exercises routinely. Women needed to possess self-efficacy to do this intervention independently. Barriers to the adoption of e-Health were personal circumstances restricting time for scheduling pelvic floor muscle training and lacking skills to perform the exercises correctly. Despite guidance by technical features several women remained uncertain about their performance of the exercises and, therefore, wanted additional contact with a professional. Conclusions For stress urinary incontinence e-Health is an appropriate option for a target audience. Use of the FITT framework clearly demonstrates the conditions for optimal adoption. For a subgroup it was a suitable alternative for medical care in person. For others it identified the need for further support by a health care professional. This support could be provided by improvements of technical features and incorporating modes for digital communication. The additional value of integration of the e-Health intervention in primary care might be a logical next step. Trial registration The study was prospectively registered in the Netherlands Trial Registry (NTR) NTR6956.
