Assessing Self-Management Coping in Urinary Incontinence: Psychometric Evaluation of the UI-SMCSI in Middle-Aged Women
The UI-SMCSI is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing UI self-management coping strategies among Portuguese women with UI. It offers a practical tool for healthcare professionals to identify behavioral patterns that may hinder effective UI management. Future research should explore the scale's sensitivity to intervention and its applicability to other demographic and cultural populations.
