Filter by:Alteration of hormonal structure and decreasing of muscle tissue with aging causes pelvic floor dysfunction. Over age of 65 so many factors such as decrease in volume of muscle tissue, decrease in the amount of estrogen / testosterone, and low level of physical activity cause problems such as incontinence, prolapse, constipation and sexual dysfunction The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise program on sexual dysfunction, incontinence, quality of life and physical activity level in elderly.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing mindfulness-based stress reduction with the health enhancement program on symptoms of urinary urge incontinence in older adult women, and to establish preliminary efficacy of these two approaches on symptoms of urinary urge incontinence.
The goal of this study is to obtain data about the effectiveness, reach, adoption, and implementation potential of an innovative, combined urinary/bowel continence workshop through a randomized controlled trial in six Wisconsin communities. This three-session workshop is based on proven principles of behavior change addressing urinary and bowel continence self-management and health education and has been developed specifically for administration to women age 50 and older in senior centers. We hypothesize that workshop participants will experience improvements in urinary and bowel incontinence symptoms, will have increased levels of care-seeking and self-efficacy for these conditions, and will maintain the self-management strategies taught in the workshop 3 months following completion of the workshop. We further hypothesize that this workshop will reach its intended target population (independent senior women with incontinence) and will improve their mental health by destigmatizing the condition of incontinence.
