Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out lower urinary tract symptoms, daily life inconvenience, and sleep quality in elderly community woman. Methods: Participants were 140 elderly women. Data collection was conducted from September 1 to October 30, 2017. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test with the SPSS program. Results: The rate of urge incontinence was 25.0%, stress incontinence 36.4%, unexplained incontinence 15.7%, and nocturnal incontinence 9.3%. Those participants with urge incontinence presented significantly higher daily life inconvenience scores; urge incontinence, stress incontinence, and unexplained incontinence were significantly associated with lower sleep quality scores. Furthermore, frequent urination, nocturia, and incomplete emptying were significantly higher daily life inconvenience scores; and frequent urination, nocturia, hesitancy, straining, intermittent stream, burning, incomplete emptying, bladder pain, and abnormal strength of stream were significantly related to lower sleep quality scores. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop intervention strategies considering incontinence and urination symptoms to reduce daily life inconvenience caused by lower urinary tract symptoms and improve sleep quality in elderly women.
