Prevalence of urinary incontinence in postpartum women and physiotherapy interventions applied: An integrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This integrative review identified studies that reported the prevalence of physiotherapeutic interventions for urinary incontinence among postpartum women.

Methods

This is an integrative literature review study. We used the integrative literature review framework proposed by Whittemore and Knafl to search for relevant literature.

Search strategy

The search strategy for electronic databases was developed from the research question and definitions of key concepts, assisted by the librarian. Databases that were searched include Google Scholar, Medline (PubMed), CINAHL, and the Joanna Briggs Institute databases. Both qualitative and quantitative studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. We used the CASP tool to assess the quality of selected papers.
