| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Urinary incontinence, loss of bladder control, is a common problem that may have a profound impact on quality of life. Women in their premenopausal period may find pelvic muscles are simply weaker than they were before. Pelvic floor muscle exercise education is a well acceptable therapy for urinary incontinence. The aim was to evaluate the effect of a video-assisted teaching program on premenopausal women's knowledge and practice regarding pelvic floor muscle exercises. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: The study was conducted in the Obstetric Outpatient Clinic at Beni-Suef University Hospital. Subjects: A convenient sample included 60 premenopausal women were included in the current study within six months. Three tools were used: Tool I A structured interview questionnaire, Tool II premenopausal women's knowledge regarding pelvic floor muscle exercises (pre/post), and Tool III premenopausal women's self-reported practice regarding pelvic floor muscle exercises (pre/post). Results: The majority of premenopausal women reported that the main source of information regarding their knowledge was doctors. There was a positive significant correlation (P=0.005) between premenopausal women's knowledge and practice scores pre and post video-assisted teaching program. There were highly significant improvements in premenopausal women's knowledge and self-reported practice regarding pelvic floor muscle exercises post-video assisted teaching program (P=0.005). There was no association between the knowledge scores and the selected demographic variables (age, educational status, and place of residence) and clinical variables (parity, type of delivery, and urinary incontinence). Conclusion: The present study concluded there was an improvement in the knowledge and practice levels after the administration of a video-assisted teaching program on pelvic floor muscle exercises among premenopausal women. Recommendations: Educational program about pelvic floor muscle exercises should be taught for premenopausal women to avoid urinary incontinence | ||||
