Stress UI is the most common type of incontinence. The aim of the study was to find out how often this problem occurs among the employees of the University Rehabilitation Institute, Republic of Slovenia in Ljubljana (URI), and whether we can help to reduce this problem. Methods: We compiled a questionnaire on stress urinary incontinence, its causes and other factors, and distributed it among URI female employees. The response rate among the invited colleagues was 61 %. Results: Stress UI occurs in approximately one-third of the respondents, mostly in a milder form. All the respondents were familiar with exercises for the pelvic floor muscles. They expressed a need for education on this topic. They believe that the occurrence of stressful UI is also influenced by physical strain in the workplace. The only statistically significant predictor of stress UI was childbirth. Conclusion: Stress UI occurs among female employees of the URI in the same way as in the general population. As there are no UI prevention programs in Slovenia after pregnancy and delivery, it would make sense to introduce a prevention program for our employeesUvod: Inkontinenca urina (UI) ali nenadzorovano uhajanje urina je zdravstveno-negovalna in socialna težava. Stresna UI je najpogostejša vrsta inkontinence. Želeli smo izvedeti, kako pogosto se ta težava pojavlja pri sodelavkah na Univerzitetnem rehabilitacijskem inštitutu Republike Slovenije – Soča (URI – Soča) in ali lahko prispevamo k zmanjšanju te težave. Metode: Sestavili smo anketni vprašalnik o stresni urinski inkontinenci, vzrokih zanjo in drugih dejavnikih ter ga razdelili med zaposlene ženske v URI – Soča. Odgovorilo je 61 % povabljenih sodelavk. Rezultati: Stresna UI se pojavlja pri približno tretjini v anketi sodelujočih, večinoma v blažji obliki. Sodelavke, ki so odgovorile na vprašanja, poznajo vaje za mišice medeničnega dna. Izrazile so željo po izobraževanju. Prepričane so, da na pojav stresne UI vplivajo tudi fizične obremenitve na delovnem mestu. Edini napovedni dejavnik za pojav stresne UI je bil porod. Zaključek: Stresna UI se pri zaposlenih v zdravstvu pojavlja enako pogosto kot v splošni populaciji. Ker preventivnih programov v Sloveniji po nosečnosti in porodu ni, bi bilo smiselno uvesti preventivni program za naše zaposleneTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
