SUMMARY

This study aimed to determine the effects of Kegel exercise and Ba Duan Jin applications applied to premenopausal women with urinary incontinence on quality of life and psychological well-being. Study Group of the Research: Premenopausal women between the ages of 45-55 who come to the family health center with any complaint and have urinary incontinence. The research will be conducted as a randomized pre-test, post-test and control group intervention study design. The research will be conducted with women aged 45-55 with urinary incontinence who came for examination for any reason to a Family Health Center in Sinop between March 2024 and July 2024. According to the power analysis, the number of participants was calculated to be at least 54 when the type 1 error was taken as 0.05, the power was 0.95 and the effect size was medium (0.25) for the two-group design with two repeated measurements. To prevent possible data loss, the sample size was increased by 10% and the total number of participants was determined as 60. A total of 60 women, 30 experimental and 30 control, coming to the Family Health Center will be randomly included in the study. No information, Kegel exercise program and Ba Duan Jin applications will be given to the women in the experimental group, and no intervention will be given to the control group during the research process. Participants will be assigned to 2 groups: experimental and control. Those who come to FHC on odd days of the month will be included in the experimental group, and those who come on even days of the month will be included in the control group. Each group will be determined as 30 people. After the research is completed, the interventions applied to the experimental group will be applied to the women in the control group. Personal Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale and Incontinence Quality of Life Scale will be applied to women in the experimental and control groups as pre-test measurements. As a final test, the same measurements will be made to both the control group and the experimental group 16 weeks after the first measurement.
