The Effect of Information, Motivation, Behavioral Skills Model on Urinary Incontinence and Quality of Life in Men With Overactive Bladder: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Assigned Interventions for Overactive Bladder and Quality of Life. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Multiple studies have shown that education based on the IMB model is effective at bringing about health-related behavior change. The IMB model was found to be effective in developing healthy behaviors aimed at maintaining heart health, providing behavior to prevent smoking addiction, diabetes management, correct nutrition in iron deficiency anemia, and using condoms to prevent HIV. There are no studies in the literature regarding the adaptation of the IMB model to behavioral therapy in patients with OAB or urinary incontinence. To address this, there we aimed to investigate the effect of the IMB model on urinary incontinence and quality of life in men with OAB.

Interventions
Information: In the information step of the bladder training program given through the IMB model, training was given about pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder program formation, and lifestyle change. The training was conducted face-to-face by the nurse researcher for about 15-20 min, and the training booklet was given to the patients. Motivation: The patients in the intervention group were interviewed by the nurse researcher by phone or face-to-face in the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months after the training. The patients were motivated by providing information and counseling on the necessary issues. This process was carried out using motivational interviewing principles. Patients were given positive behavioral feedback and encouraged to control urinary incontinence. Behavioral Skills: Behavioral skills related to urinary incontinence were evaluated 6 months after the training,together with their effects on urinary incontinence symptom score and quality of life.
