Programas de intervenção na incontinência urinária pós prostatectomia: protocolo de estudo

Abstract

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a current problem that is undervalued and underdiagnosed. In men, its main cause is related to prostate surgery, namely Radical Prostatectomy. Conservative treatment is one of the possible approaches, which includes several interventions. Objectives: Examine and map interventions for post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence and their benefits. Methodology: Scoping review based on the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The scoping review protocol was constructed taking into account the defined criteria and suitability for the proposed bases/repositories. The relevance analysis of articles, data extraction and synthesis will be carried out by two independent reviewers. Presentation and interpretation of results: The results will be presented in a descriptive way, using tables, taking into account the objective and focus of the scoping review. In addition, a narrative summary will also be prepared in which a critical-reflective analysis of the information obtained will be aggregated and carried out. Conclusion: It is expected that this scoping review will allow the analysis and systematization of studies relating to programs aimed at post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, contributing not only to the optimization of this clinical practice in this specific population, but also to scientific research on this topic through the identification of gaps in knowledge.
