Abstract

= 67). The top barriers influencing pelvic floor health cited included knowledge, time, childcare and health-care access. Key facilitators supporting individual's pelvic floor health included social support, exercise, knowledge for greater pelvic health support. Participants preferred interventions which included PFPT (pelvic floor physical therapy) and online videos. Further knowledge of barriers and facilitators once receiving pelvic health information would be beneficial in future research.
