摘要

本研究係一描述性及相關性研究，主要目的是瞭解夜尿婦女之生活品質、因應行為及其相關因素。以中部某醫學中心女性員工為研究對象，經立意取樣，共選取199位，以自填結構型問卷進行資料收集。結果發現：夜尿婦女整體生活品質平均得分為82.61(SD=11.5)；生活品質單項中以「晚上沒有足夠的睡眠」、「晚上會在意不要喝太多水」以及「擔心夜尿的情況會越來越糟糕」為困擾最大的前三項。因應行為中，以「不喝或少喝茶或咖啡等飲料」、「減少晚餐後水分或液體的攝取」和「做骨盆底肌肉運動」為「非常有效」的前三項。經多變項複迴歸與邏輯式迴歸分析發現睡眠品質愈好、夜尿次數愈少、非勞力工作者，其生活品質愈好。而愈認為夜尿是疾病現象、生活品質愈差者，其愈會為夜尿而就醫。本研究結果有助於瞭解夜尿婦女的整體生活品質和因應行為，作為醫療專業人員提供醫療照護之參考。

The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to evaluate the quality of life, coping behaviors and related factors in women with nocturia. One hundred and ninety-nine women with nocturia, who were members of staff at a medical center in central Taiwan, were recruited by purposive sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from them via self-administration. The results were that: (1) The mean score for quality of life was 82.61 (SD=11.5). (2) The most frequently reported problems were worry about not getting enough sleep at night, taking care about when and how much to drink, and worry that the condition might deteriorate. (3) The most effective coping behaviors were reducing tea or coffee intake, drinking less after dinner, and performing pelvic muscle exercise. (4) Multivariate regression and logistic regression analysis indicated that subjects with better quality of sleep, less episodes of nocturnal void, and employment in non-manual labor had a better quality of life. The subjects who percived nocturia as an illness and had a lower quality of life engaged in more treatment-seeking behavior. The results of this study may help medical personnel understand the quality of life and coping behaviors of women with nocturia. They may also serve as a reference in the provision of better care for women with nocturia.
