本文的目的是通过使用疾病影响概况（SIP），根据年龄、症状组、渗漏量和持续时间评估社区生活女性尿失禁的生活质量。从一家尿失禁诊所随机抽取36名年龄在40 - 60岁之间的女性和40名年龄在70岁或以上的女性，使用SIP问卷进行访谈。通过症状问卷确定急迫性和压力性尿失禁亚组。总体而言，总体、社会心理和身体功能障碍为中度（分别为8%、7%和8%），但在分析年龄和症状组时发现主要差异。冲动症状比压力性尿失禁的症状与更多的损伤相关。有压力性尿失禁症状的老年妇女受影响相对较小，而有压力性尿失禁症状的年轻妇女受影响严重，尤其是在情绪行为和娱乐消遣方面。我们的结论是，女性尿失禁在很大程度上对生活质量产生不利影响；其程度取决于尿失禁的性质和人的年龄。
The objectives of this paper were to assess the quality of life of community-living women with urinary incontinence according to age, symptom group, amount of leakage, and duration, by use of the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP). Thirty-six women aged between 40 and 60 years and 40 women aged 70 years or more were randomly selected from the clients attending an incontinence clinic and interviewed using the SIP questionnaire. Urge and stress incontinence subgroups were defined by means of a symptom questionnaire. Total, psychosocial, and physical dysfunctions were moderate (8%, 7%, and 8% respectively) in general, but major differences were found when age and symptom groups were analysed. Urge symptoms were associated with more impairment than symptoms of stress incontinence. The elderly women with symptoms of stress incontinence were relatively little affected, while their younger counterparts were severely affected, especially in the categories of emotional behavior and recreation and pastimes. We conclude that urinary incontinence in women adversely affects quality of life to a significant degree; the extent depends on the nature of incontinence and the age of the person.
