Women's Self‐care Agency to Manage Urinary Incontinence: The Impact of Nursing Agency and Body Experience

BackgroundWomen with urinary incontinence (UI) report that the disease negatively impacts their quality of life but, paradoxically, underreport symptoms. MethodA predictive model using Orem's self-care deficit theory was developed exploring the effect of body experience on self-care agency to manage UI. A sample of postmenopausal women was drawn from a larger trial. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model. ResultsMinor modification of the model produced a well-fitting model (χ2(9) = 3.20, P = .96, n = 235). Results supported the positive effect of nursing agency on self-care agency. ConclusionGroup education about UI may increase self-care agency in postmenopausal women.
