Izhodišča: Urinska inkontinenca je nehoteno uhajanje urina, ki vpliva na samopodobo. Njena pogostost se povečuje s starostjo, vendar prizadene tudi mlajše ženske. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, ali urinska inkontinenca vpliva na samopodobo ženske in v kolikšni meri. Metode: Uporabili smo deskriptivno metodo dela. Podatke za izdelavo teoretičnega dela smo pridobili iz slovenske in tuje strokovne literature, člankov, knjig in spletnih virov. Raziskovalni del je temeljil na kvantitativni metodologiji. Raziskavo smo izvedli s pomočjo anket, v društvu za pomoč osebam z urinsko inkontinenco in v Uroginekološki ambulanti UKC Maribor. Rezultati: V raziskavi smo ugotovili, da urinska inkontinenca vpliva na samopodobo ženske. Pri 17 % žensk se je raven samopodobe zaradi urinske inkontinence znižala. Opazen je tudi vpliv urinske na osebnost ženske. Urinska inkontinenca vpliva tudi na družabno življenje, telesno aktivnost, partnerstvo, spolnost in zaposlitev. Diskusija in zaključek: Urinska inkontinenca vpliva na samopodobo ženske, na osebnost in številna področja življenja. Menimo, da bi morali o urinski inkontinenci ljudi več ozaveščati. Tako bi zmanjšali strah pred priznanjem težav ter vplivali na to, da se samopodoba ženske z urinsko inkontinenco ne bi znižala.

Results: Our research confirmed that urinary incontinence influences the self-esteem of women. For 17 % of women the self-esteem lowered due to urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence also influences women's personality. Urinary incontinence also influences social life, activities, partnership, sexual life, and employment.
