Abstract

Objective
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem that affects the quality of life of women worldwide. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is an effective conservative first-line treatment for SUI. However, low compliance with PFMT is one of the main reasons for therapeutic failure. Indirect supervision using a guidebook may improve PFMT outcomes. To develop a PFMT guidebook using the analyze, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) method.
Methods
A guidebook was developed from July 2020 to April 2021 using the ADDIE method. This prospective study used mixed methods, namely qualitative analysis, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews, and involved various experts from urogynecology, urology, medical rehabilitation, and physiotherapy departments. A pilot study was conducted on patients with SUI to evaluate the effectiveness of the guidebook.
Results
The ADDIE method was successfully implemented to develop the PFMT guidebook. The formative evaluation of the ADDIE steps mainly focused on the PFMT technique, content clarity, illustration, design, and color choice of the book. After the pilot study, the guidebook significantly improved Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form, 1-hour pad test, and perineometer scores. However, the pilot study showed no significant improvement in Urogenital Distress Inventory, Short Form scores.
Conclusion
The PFMT guidebook developed using the ADDIE method improved outcomes in patients with SUI.
