OBJECTIVE:This study reviewed whether participants who were given a continence education package, which included a Continence Educational Brochure (CEB), and who indicated that they were bothered by incontinence symptoms changed health-seeking behaviors about their incontinence problem because of being given the brochure. METHOD:This study used a descriptive and exploratory design. Participants were given the CEB and asked to read the information. They were also asked to complete a continence questionnaire and mail this back to the research team. Participants who indicated that they were bothered by a continence problem and consented to being interviewed were telephoned 2 to 3 months later. They were asked questions to determine their actions and progress in relation to managing their continence problem and whether the CEB had influenced their behavior. SETTING AND SUBJECT:A total of 631 participants (352 females, 55.8%; 279 males, 44.2%) from 4 rural and regional settings in Victoria, Australia, participated. Of this sample, 111 participants (78 females, 70.3%; 33 males, 29.7%) who reported that they were bothered by a continence problem were interviewed 3 months after being given the CEB. RESULTS:Two thirds of the total sample of participants (n=111) sought help for their continence problem. Approximately 70.3% (n=78) continued to have a continence problem. Of this group, 84.6% were still bothered by the continence problem and 65.4% had taken action to treat their incontinence. Forty-nine participants (44.1%) indicated that they had discussed the issue of bladder or bowel problems with someone directly because of this study or the information contained in the brochure. More than 94% of participants who remembered the CEB indicated that they believed the brochure would be helpful if given to other people. CONCLUSIONS:These findings suggest that the CEB prompted individuals to discuss their continence problem and in fewer cases to seek professional help. Given these findings, distribution of a continence education package is advocated as a continence health promotion strategy.

目的:本研究回顾了参加者的节制教育包,其中包括节制教育手册(CEB),并指出他们因节制失禁症状而受到困扰,从而改变了他们对失禁问题的健康寻求行为,因为他们获得了手册。
方法:本研究采用描述性和探索性设计。参加者获得了CEB的邀请,并要求阅读信息。还要求他们填写节制问卷并将其邮寄回研究团队。 2至3个月后打电话给表示自己受到节制问题困扰并同意接受采访的参与者。他们被问到问题,以确定他们在处理自控问题方面的行动和进展,以及CEB是否影响了他们的行为。
地点和主题:来自澳大利亚维多利亚州4个农村和地区性地区的631名参与者(352名女性,占55.8%; 279名男性,占44.2%)参加了该项目。在该样本中,有111名参与者表示接受节制问题后感到困扰,他们被告知接受CEB后接受了采访(78名女性,占70.3%; 33名男性,占29.7%)。
结果:参与者(n = 111)的总样本的三分之二寻求帮助,以解决他们的节制问题。大约70.3%(n = 78)仍然存在尿失禁问题。在这一组中,仍有84.6%的人患有尿失禁问题,还有65.4%的人已经采取了行动来治疗他们的尿失禁。 49名参与者(44.1%)表示,由于该研究或小册子中包含的信息,他们直接与某人讨论了膀胱或肠道问题。记得CEB的参与者中,超过94%的参与者表示,他们认为该手册对其他人有帮助。
结论:这些发现表明,CEB促使个人讨论他们的节制问题,并在较少的情况下寻求专业帮助。鉴于这些发现,提倡分发节制教育一揽子计划作为节制健康促进策略。
