This study introduces four Urinary Incontinence Scales for nurses to assess adult urinary incontinence. The attitude, belief, and practice scales are reliable and valid, though knowledge scale reliability needs improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Urology
  • Health Measurement

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent issue in adult populations.
  • Accurate assessment of UI requires validated tools for healthcare professionals.
  • Existing tools may not comprehensively capture nurses' perspectives on UI management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe the development and testing of four new scales:
  • Urinary Incontinence Attitude Scale (UIAS)
  • Urinary Incontinence Belief Scale (UIBS)
  • Urinary Incontinence Practice Scale (UIPS)
  • Urinary Incontinence Knowledge Scale (UIKS)

Main Methods:

  • Development of four distinct scales measuring different aspects of UI.

  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for evaluating scale reliability and validity.
  • Reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha and squared multiple correlation.

    • Main Results:

    • The UIAS, UIBS, and UIPS demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity.
    • The UIKS showed slightly lower reliability than desired.
    • The overall measurement model exhibited acceptable goodness-of-fit.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed scales offer a promising approach to measuring nurses' engagement with adult urinary incontinence.
    • Further research is recommended to confirm the generalizability of these findings.
    • The UIAS, UIBS, and UIPS are suitable for use, while the UIKS may require refinement.
