| Resumo: | Introduction: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. There is
usually a greater focus on sensorimotor repercussions, but approximately 53% of affected
patients report urinary incontinence (UI) after four weeks of stroke. The UI can impair quality
of life of individuals, a public health problem, and it is necessary to know if health professionals
such as Brazilian physiotherapists know about this subject. Objectives: To evaluate the
knowledge of Brazilian physical therapists about urinary incontinence in post-stroke patients,
its assessment, and management. Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional and analytical
study. It was carried out through an online form with 171 Brazilian physical therapists
registered in the professional class council, over 18 years old, and working in clinical practice
of post-stroke rehabilitation. Participants answered a questionnaire containing identification
questions, knowledge about UI in post-stroke patients, its evaluation, and management. Results:
It was possible to observe that Brazilian physiotherapists who work in post-stroke rehabilitation
recognize the types of urinary incontinence but report little or no knowledge of UI after stroke.
In addition, most of these professionals do not evaluate and do not directly intervene in UI in
post-stroke patients in the rehabilitation process, with frequent referrals to other professionals.
Conclusion: From the results, we see the need for awareness and implementation of evaluations
and interventions with a broader look at the person post-stroke in rehabilitation, also
considering aspects related to urinary continence. |
