Qualidade do sono em gestantes com incontinência urinária.

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the quality of sleep in pregnant women with Urinary Incontinence (IU). Analyze the impact of UI during the gestational period, due to the nocturnal voiding frequency correlated with the impact on sleep quality. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study with pregnant women with complaints of urine loss and presence of voiding symptoms. The evaluations were carried out through two structured questionnaires, one about IU (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form) and another about sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality) Index. The data were recorded in the Excel program (Microsoft Office) and statistically analyzed. Results: 28 pregnant women were evaluated, in which 10.7% were in the 1º trimester, 32.1% in the 2º trimester and 57.1% in the 3rdº trimester, in the UI impact requirement, 32.1% presented severe impact and 21.4% very severe and in the sleep quality requirement, 50.0% presented poor sleep quality and 35.7% presence of sleep disorders. Conclusion: In view of this, it was possible to identify that women suffer from UI and poor quality of sleep during the gestational period and that both aspects negatively interfere with the quality of life of the pregnant woman.
