Qol Following Management for Pediatric UI

April 29, 2021 updated by: Patti Berg-Poppe, University of South Dakota

Quality of Life Following Conservative Management for Pediatric Daytime Urinary Incontinence

A comparison of changes between symptoms of incontinence and pediatric quality of life will be used to draw conclusions about whether differences in quality of life are noted with changes in symptoms of incontinence.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Although positive physiological results are associated with successful treatment for bowel and bladder dysfunction and daytime incontinence (BD-UI), there are few studies examining the effects of treatment on quality of life (QoL) for children. The purpose of our study is to determine whether successful physical therapy treatment improves QoL for children with BD-UI.

Consent will be obtained from parents and assent from children. Children will be asked to complete a global, age appropriate quality of life assessment and a quality of life instrument specific to incontinence. Information will be provided by the parent through completion of a parent report instrument matched to the child's global quality of life tool as well as completion of an instrument depicting child symptoms. Clinicians will report general information about related physiological changes and progress with established outcomes individualized to the child. A repeated measures MANOVA will be used to analyze the results.
