Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary urinary incontinence that develops in parallel with the increase in intra-abdominal pressure and is seen in the absence of detrusor contraction. Studies have shown that SUI, leading to a decrease in the quality of life and worsening of social and health conditions, is more common in women than men.~Knowledge of pelvic floor health or urinary incontinence is generally low. Low level of knowledge or wrong information limits patients' access to treatment. Pelvic floor muscle exercise and lifestyle recommendations are also the first treatment options for SUI.~The information and awareness related to the pelvic floor and SUI can be increase and unhealthy behavioral strategies can be modifiable through education programs. Therefore the education programs related to the pelvic floor health would have positive effects on urinary incontinence symptoms, knowledge level and quality of life. Studies about this issue are needed.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pelvic floor health education program on urinary incontinence symptoms, knowledge level and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence.
