Abstract:

Objective To systematically synthesize the qualitative evidence of symptom management experience in women with urinary incontinence. Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,Web of Science,PsycINFO,CINAHL,Embase,CNKI,WanFang,CBM,and VIP databases were systematically searched for qualitative studies on the experience of symptom management in women with urinary incontinence from inception to May 2021. The articles was evaluated using the JBI quality evaluation criteria for evidence-based health care central quality studies,and the meta-analysis method was used to integrate the study results. Results A total of 10 studies were included,the quality of all were rated as grade B. Forty-six results were extracted,and similar results were summarized and combined into 11 new categories and further integrated into three results:poor symptom experience in patients with urinary incontinence,diversification of symptom management strategies in patients with urinary incontinence,and transformation of symptom management outcomes in patients with urinary incontinence. Conclusion Women with urinary incontinence have poor symptom experience and lack the professional guidance on symptom management strategies. Their symptom management outcomes need to be improved. It is important to provide professional information support and good social family support to enhance the patient's self-management ability.
