Abstract:

This is a qualitative study aiming at understanding Brazilian women’s experience of urinary incontinence and at designing a representative theoretical model for such experience. Theoretical saturation occurred after the analysis of the 18th non-directive interview according to the Grounded Theory. Two phenomena emerged from this process: living with the challenges of urinary incontinence and experiencing the hope and disappointment of rehabilitating from urinary incontinence. From the re-alignment of their components, the core category emerged: between suffering and hope - medical support to urinary incontinence rehabilitation in the public Brazilian health care system, the Unified Health Care System, as an intervenient component. From the analysis in light of Symbolic Interactionism, pregnancy and vaginal birth were observed to be symbols of women’s vulnerability to the suffering from living with the moral and physiopsychosocial challenges of urinary incontinence. It is inferred that the disregard from the Unified Health Care System towards the urinary incontinence rehabilitation process may be weakening programs for vaginal birth encouragement.
