About this study

This study examined whether self-efficacy promoted adherence to Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) and Bladder Training (BT) in women aged 55 and older.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed to determine the capacity of self-efficacy to predict maintenance of the practices of PFMT and BT. Women in the treatment arm of the RCT attended a Bladder Health Class (PFMT \& BT) to prevent UI. The class content emphasized self-efficacy. At 3-months post intervention the self-efficacy of participants was measured; these results were collected to analyze for predictive capacity of training adherence. For four years participants in both the treatment and control (no class) arms were followed with both questionnaires and 3-day bladder diaries (2/year) and clinic evaluations of (1/year). In addition, qualitative analyses of the narratives of Bladder Health Class participants identified individual attitudes and strategies that either facilitated or deterred adherence.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adherence to PMFT and BT (self efficacy) were measured through questionnaires and 3-day voiding diaries.

    Measured: Every 6 months for 4 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adherence to PMFT and BT (self efficacy) were measured through questionnaires and days of urinary incontinence per 3-day voiding diary

    Measured: Every 6 months for 4 years

  2. Digital measurement during clinical examination of pelvic muscle function (pressure and displacement).

    Measured: 1/year for four years

  3. Paper towel bladder test

    Measured: 1/year for four years

  4. Survey questions (open ended and forced choice) about strategies women use to incorporate PFMT and BT into their lives

    Measured: 1 time

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00506766, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
