Abstract
Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a major public health problem affecting millions of men and women worldwide. It is an embarrassing condition with a negative effect on quality of life. So, a combination of pharmacological and behavioral therapy is required to successfully manage OAB symptoms. Objective: Determine the effect of bladder training and pelvic floor muscle exercises on urge control among patients with overactive bladder syndrome. Settings: The study was carried out at the Urology Outpatient Clinic of Etay Elbarood General Hospital , Elbehaira government, Egypt. Subjects: A convenient sample of 60 adult patients, who were divided into two equal groups (study and control group) were recruited for the study. Tools: three tools were used. Tool I: “Socio demographic and clinical data structured interview schedule ". Tool II: “patient’s knowledge regarding overactive bladder& symptoms assessment and tool III" Overactive Bladder Patients' life style". Results: There was a significant improvement in knowledge &OAB symptoms for the study group patients more than in the control group (P=(<0.001*) post program application. Furthermore ,the majority of the study groups exhibited satisfactory levels of life style due to reduced overactive bladder symptoms (P= <0.001*). Conclusion: Educational programs have been proven to be effective in reducing episodes of urgency for patients in the study group than in the control group. Recommendations: An educational program should be developed for overactive bladder patients, and the developed illustrated booklet should be available and distributed to all patients with overactive bladder syndrome.
