評 論 在人口老化的社會中,女性尿失禁是一個重要的健康議題。尿失禁對健康造成的負擔有很多面向,其中精神健康疾患其實是很常見的共病,但針對此議題以族群為主的相關研究卻很少。
因此本篇文章分析尿失禁婦女與幾種精神疾病的關係,希望能夠引起大家對尿失禁的重視。
此篇文章主要族群是一萬多名葡萄牙成年女性,將其區分成「無尿失禁」及「有尿失禁症狀超過一年」兩組,比較當中患有精神疾病或菸酒成癮行為的人數有沒有差異。
研究結果有以下幾項:
  • 1. 在葡萄牙,女性尿失禁的盛行率將近一成(9.9%),而隨著年齡上升,盛行率也跟著增加,75-85歲有尿失禁困擾的女性高達四成(40.8%)。
  • 跟無尿失禁的婦女相比,有尿失禁症狀的女性患有精神疾患及需要心理諮商的比例較高(分別高了1.66倍及1.41倍)。
  • 而在不同的精神疾患中,在尿失禁患者中有明顯比較高比例的是「自覺健康狀況很糟」(1.65倍)、「注意力無法集中」(1.58倍)、「在過去的兩週曾感覺人生無價值或有罪惡感」(1.49倍)。
  • 而就「菸酒成癮行為」而言,無論尿失禁與否則無明顯人數差異。
總結來說,女性尿失禁造成的困擾有很大一部分與精神健康相關,因此臨床上在治療尿失禁的同時,應該也要評估病人的精神健康。
abstract Introduction & Objectives: Female urinary incontinence (UI) is a common disorder and an important health concern with aging population. Different components of health burden have been described, being the mental health disorders a frequent disabling comorbidity, although evidence at a population level is still scarce. Therefore, we analyzed women with self-reported urinary incontinence regarding socio-demographic data and several dimensions of mental health.
Materials & Methods: We analyzed data from a population-based survey with a representative sample of Portuguese women aged ≥18 years (n=10038). Women with self-reported symptoms of urinary incontinence in the previous 12 months were considered as having UI. We performed an age-, education-, and BMI-adjusted comparison of the prevalence of depression diagnosis, use of mental health consultations, different dimensions of mental health disease and addictive behaviours (smoking and alcohol consumption) between UI women and non-UI women. Weighted prevalences with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), as well as adjusted prevalence ratios (PR), were computed using Poisson regression. This study was approved by ethics committee.
Results: The nationwide prevalence of female UI was 9.9% (95%CI: 9.1-10.8%), increasing with age, with a prevalence of 40.8% for 75-to 85-year-old women. Women with UI had an adjusted higher prevalence of depression diagnosis [PR=1.66 (1.43-1.92)] and use of mental health consultations [PR= 1.41 (1.03-1.93)]. A perceived health-status reported as bad [PR=1.65 (1.46-1.88)], difficulty in concentrating [PR=1.58 (1.38-1.82)] and a feeling of worthlessness or guilt during the last 2 weeks [PR=1.49 (1.33-1.67)] were the mental health dimensions with higher differences between the two groups. There were no relevant differences concerning addictive behaviours.
Conclusions: The mental health consequences of female urinary incontinence are a major component of the burden of this disease. The clinicians should be aware of this association in order to have a high level of suspicion to mental health disturbances when assessing women with UI.
