About this study
Having knowledge and awareness about pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor dysfunctions makes it easier for individuals to understand their own body and the treatment provided to them by healthcare professionals (Fante, 2019). In the literature, there are studies investigating the knowledge and awareness levels of different participant groups about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions (Parden, 2016; Hill, 2017; Falvey, 2020). It has been shown that most women lack knowledge of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, do not understand treatment options for the pelvic floor, and are unable to identify risk factors (Fante, 2019). A Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Quiz was created by Al-Deges in order to evaluate the level of knowledge about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunction in women and men in our country (Al-Deges, 2019).
In line with this information, the aim of our study is to determine the level of knowledge about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions in women and men of different age groups. The target audience of our research is male and female individuals over the age of 18, and our research will be conducted online. As a result of the information we obtained from our research, the level of knowledge of individuals living in our country about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions will be determined and the literature will be contributed. In addition, by determining the missing information of the society about the pelvic floor, contribution will be made to the development of appropriate intervention methods in order to eliminate the deficiencies in this area and to increase the level of awareness.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Having knowledge and awareness about pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor dysfunctions makes it easier for individuals to understand their own body and the treatment provided to them by healthcare professionals (Fante, 2019). In the literature, there are studies investigating the knowledge and awareness levels of different participant groups about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions (Parden, 2016; Hill, 2017; Falvey, 2020). It has been shown that most women lack knowledge of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, do not understand treatment options for the pelvic floor, and are unable to identify risk factors (Fante, 2019). A Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Quiz was created by Al-Deges in order to evaluate the level of knowledge about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunction in women and men in our country (Al-Deges, 2019).
In line with this information, the aim of our study is to determine the level of knowledge about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions in women and men of different age groups. The target audience of our research is male and female individuals over the age of 18, and our research will be conducted online. As a result of the information we obtained from our research, the level of knowledge of individuals living in our country about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions will be determined and the literature will be contributed.

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Quiz (time frame: 5 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04893005, which also lists 24 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.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2022.
