Abstract

Introduction: The effectiveness of conservative treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) in women highly depends on adherence, which varies from 18% to 95%. Accompanying costs of UI-care are high. We recently showed in the UrinControl trial that app-based treatment is non-inferior to conservative treatment. Knowledge about factors that are related to success or failure of app-based treatment can help in improvement of app-based treatment.

Methods: The UrinControl trial included 262 women with UI of which 131 were allocated to app-based treatment. A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was performed with 10 women from the app-based treatment group that showed the least improvement and 10 women that showed the most improvement. The interview focused on factors related to success and failure of the treatment and log-data from the app was used to guide the interviews. Interviews were analyzed and common factors related to success and failure were identified.

Results: Data will be available at the time of the conference. Interviews are currently being conducted.

Conclusions/Discussion: Based on the outcomes we will formulate improvements for app-based treatment of urinary incontinence in women.
