Incontinence quality of life among Korean-American women.
Quality of life (QOL) related to urinary incontinence was explored among community-dwelling, Korean-American women. Each participant completed an appropriately transcribed Incontinence QOL instrument. The findings of this study suggest that self-perceived disease severity significantly (p = 0.000) influences the QOL of Korean-American women with urinary incontinence.
