Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to determine the effects of Kegel exercise and Ba Duan Jin applications applied to premenopausal women with urinary incontinence on quality of life and psychological well-being. Study Group of the Research: Premenopausal women between the ages of 45-55 who come to the family health center with any complaint and have urinary incontinence. The research will be conducted as a randomized pre-test, post-test and control group intervention study design. The research will be conducted with women aged 45-55 with urinary incontinence who came for examination for any reason to a Family Health Center in Sinop between March 2024 and July 2024. According to the power analysis, the number of participants was calculated to be at least 54 when the type 1 error was taken as 0.05, the power was 0.95 and the effect size was medium (0.25) for the two-group design with two repeated measurements. To prevent possible data loss, the sample size was increased by 10% and the total number of participants was determined as 60. A total of 60 women, 30 experimental and 30 control, coming to the Family Health Center will be randomly included in the study. No information, Kegel exercise program and Ba Duan Jin applications will be given to the women in the experimental group, and no intervention will be given to the control group during the research process. Participants will be assigned to 2 groups: experimental and control. Those who come to FHC on odd days of the month will be included in the experimental group, and those who come on even days of the month will be included in the control group. Each group will be determined as 30 people. After the research is completed, the interventions applied to the experimental group will be applied to the women in the control group. Personal Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale and Incontinence Quality of Life Scale will be applied to women in the experimental and control groups as pre-test measurements. As a final test, the same measurements will be made to both the control group and the experimental group 16 weeks after the first measurement.


Description:

All applications regarding Kegel exercise and Ba Duan Jin applications have been determined. Kegel exercise content; At the beginning of the exercise, one should try to hold urine while emptying the bladder only once or twice in order to define the pelvic floor muscles correctly. If the result is successful, it means that the correct muscles contracted. The second stage, the beginning of the exercise; It can be performed in a supine position (with legs bent at the knee) or in a sitting position. The bladder should be emptied before starting exercise. In the determined position, the pelvic floor muscles should be contracted for 5 seconds, as if stopping urine or gas outflow, and then relaxed for 5 seconds. It should be repeated 4-5 times in a row. The gluteal, abdominal and thigh muscles should not contract. In this way, it is defined that the correct muscles are contracting. In the Ba Duan Jin practice: stretch the hands to the sky, pull the arrow and string the bow (the knees are bent, the sitting posture on the horse is taken, the hand and arm take a stance as if pulling an arrow to the right and left alternately, eyes look at the target in the distance), push the sky and the earth ( Similar to the first movement, while raising the hands, one hand is directed upwards towards the sky and the other hand is directed towards the ground, turn the head and look back, shake the head and shake the tail (This movement regulates the functions of the heart and lungs, facilitates relaxation by relaxing the sympathetic nervous system, and helps emotional imbalances in the body).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Psychological Well-Being Scale It was developed by Diener et al. to measure socio-psychological well-being as a complement to existing well-being measurements. The adaptation of the scale into Turkish was carried out by Telef. Factor loadings of the scale items were calculated between .54 and .76. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient obtained in the reliability study of the scale was calculated as .80. All items are worded positively. Scores range from 8 to 56. 4 month
Primary Incontinence Quality of Life Scale It was developed by Wagner et al. in 1996 in America to determine the quality of life of patients with urinary incontinence. However, the scale was revised by Patrick et al. in 1999, and during the creation of the European versions, six questions were removed and the number of questions was reduced to 22 by evaluating the psychometric measurements. In our country, the validity and reliability of I-QOL was determined by Özerdogan. It is converted to a scale value up to 100. Higher scores indicate a better level of quality of life than lower scores. 4 month
