Keywords:
Incontinence, Exercise, Exercise, Kegel, Preoperative, PreventiveAbstract
This research addresses a crucial research gap in the medical literature concerning the management of postoperative urinary incontinence. Although postoperative urinary incontinence is a common issue, research examining the relationship between preoperative Kegel exercise practices and the occurrence of postoperative urinary incontinence remains limited. Therefore, this study represents a significant step in filling this knowledge gap. This research offers several advantages (novelty). Firstly, it employs a literature review research method that combines findings from previous studies to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between preoperative Kegel exercises and postoperative urinary incontinence. Secondly, the study aims to identify the impact of preoperative Kegel exercise practices as a preventive measure, which can help minimize postoperative complications that affect patients' quality of life. The results of this research provide a strong foundation for the development of improved clinical guidelines for preoperative preparation. This can assist in reducing the incidence of postoperative urinary incontinence and enhancing the care of patients undergoing specific surgeries. Additionally, emphasizing preoperative Kegel exercises as part of the preoperative preparation can lead to more effective clinical practices in managing postoperative urinary incontinence issues. Thus, this research offers new and relevant insights into addressing this condition.
