Associations of urinary incontinence, menopausal symptoms and life satisfaction of 235 middle-age Korean women (40 to 59 years) were investigated, based on responses to a self-report questionnaire. Urinary incontinence was positively correlated with menopausal symptoms ( r = .24) and negatively correlated with life satisfaction ( r = –.11). Life satisfaction was negatively correlated with menopausal symptoms ( r = –.28). All rs indicate weak associations and account for small common variables. Even so, results suggest effective treatment of urinary incontinence and menopausal symptoms could enhance life satisfaction through promoting healthy behavior and emotional health in such middle-age women.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a highly prevalent in elderly people. The aim of the study was to see the relationship between urinary incontinence, depression, and life satisfaction in elderly patients. Moreover, it aimed to investigate the predictive role of UI in geriatric depression and life satisfaction in elderly patients. Methods: This was the cross-sectional study. 83 patients (45% male and 55% female) with a mean age of 69 years (51-102 years) were included in this study. Self-report measures were used. Geriatric Depression Scale, Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis, and life Satisfaction Scale were used for data collection. Results: Results showed that geriatric depression is significantly positively associated with the UI and negatively associated with the Life satisfaction. UI is also negatively associated with Life satisfaction. In addition, age is significantly positively associated with geriatric depression and UI. Duration of illness is significantly positively associated with depression, whereas, education is negatively associated with depression and UI. Regression analysis showed that UI positively predicted the geriatric depression and negatively predicted the life satisfaction. Conclusion: UI positively predicts Geriatric depression and lowers the life satisfaction. Timely assessment and effective management of UI may reduce the depressive symptomatology and enhance life satisfaction. Understanding the associations between these variables can have substantial implications for both clinical work and research in this area.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze urinary incontinence prevalence and severity in prostatectomized men assessed by three different instruments. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 152 men. The pad test, pad used, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (self-report) were considered. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation, Kappa index, considering a significance level of 0.05. Results: urinary incontinence prevalence was 41.4%, 46.7% and 80.3% according to pad used, pad test and self-report. Positive correlations and moderate to poor agreement were found between the instruments. As for severity, most participants had mild incontinence. The largest number of cases of mild and severe incontinence was identified by self-report. Conclusions: the self-report showed higher values for prevalence of mild and severe severity levels. Through the identified differences, we propose that the objective assessment (pad used and pad test) be associated with individuals’ perception (self-report) to better estimate prevalence and severity.

Abstract Autistic individuals can be socially motivated. We disagree with the idea that self-report is sufficient to understand their social drive. Instead, we underscore evidence for typical non-verbal signatures of social reward during the early development of autistic individuals. Instead of focusing on whether or not social motivation is typical, research should investigate the factors that modulate social drives.
