目的：了解不同种族/民族对尿失禁知识的认识是否存在差异。如果大小便失禁知识在种族/民族之间存在差异，这是社会经济地位(SES)所解释的差异。研究设计：在这项横断面研究中，来自加州3个县的212名妇女接受了电话采访。尿失禁知识采用大小便失禁测验进行测评。计算了SES。结果：白人女性在大小便失禁测验中的得分高于少数族裔女性(6.16+/-2.86比5.46+/-2.66，P=.071)。SES越高，失禁测验总分越高(r=0.177，P=0.010)。在多变量分析中调整SES后，大小便失禁测验总分的种族差异不再趋于显著。分析了种族/民族和SES与大小便失禁问题的相关性。结论：社会经济状况解释了总体尿失禁知识的种族差异。考虑社会经济状况可能会提高尿失禁教育项目的有效性。(C)2004 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Objective: This study was undertaken to discover whether urinary incontinence knowledge differs between racial/ethnic groups. If incontinence knowledge differs between racial/ethnic groups, is the difference explained by socioeconomic status (SES).Study design: In this cross-sectional study, 212 women from 3 counties in California were interviewed by telephone. Urinary incontinence knowledge was measured by an Incontinence Quiz. SES was calculated. Race was categorized as white or minority (non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and other).Results: White women scored better than minority women on the Incontinence Quiz (6.16 +/- 2.86 vs 5.46 +/- 2.66, P = .071). Higher SES was significantly associated with higher Incontinence Quiz total score (r = 0.177, P = .010). Racial differences in Incontinence Quiz total score no longer trended toward significance after adjusting for SES in multivariable analysis. Race/ethnicity and SES were analyzed for association with each question of the Incontinence QuizConclusion: Socioeconomic status explains racial differences in total urinary incontinence knowledge. Consideration of socioeconomic status may improve the effectiveness of urinary incontinence educational programs. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
