| Annotation | This article examines change in general and condition-specific measures of health-related quality of life (HRQL) among participants in a randomised trial of a community-based intervention for urinary incontinence (UI). Participants were women aged 65 or older with UI residing in Oklahoma. Results showed that there were no significant group effects for the general HRQL measures. Intervention participants reported decreased impact of UI and greater change in self-management strategies than control participants. The intervention affected condition-specific quality of life and self-management, but not general HRQL. The intervention's impact on quality of life involves change in how the condition is seen as impacting on life and on selection of self-management behaviours. (KJ/RH). |
