About

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of a 4-week video-based education program in enhancing urinary continence among women with urinary incontinence referred for pelvic floor rehabilitation

The main question it aims to answer is :

• Does a structured video-based education program reduce the symptoms of urinary incontinence before any pelvic floor muscle strengthening ? Researchers will compare this program to a paper document (providing similar information) to see if this improves urinary continence in women suffering from urinary incontinence.

Participants will :

receive either the video-based education program or a paper information document (providing similar information) prior to the sessions with the physiotherapist
then follow pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions with the physiotherapist according to usual practice
complete the urinary incontinence questionnaire after the 4-week video education program (intervention group) or 4 weeks after receiving the paper document (control group), and after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session with the physiotherapist and at the end of the sessions
will be monitored at 1 and 2 years to evaluate urinary incontinence following the intervention.

Full description

The video-based education program will include 4 workshops of 20 minutes each, at a rate of 1 video per week:

Video 1: Anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor; Video 2: Physiology of the urinary tract; Video 3: Physiology of the digestive tract; Video 4: Pathophysiology of urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders (genital prolapse and anal incontinence) and preventive measures in daily activities.
