Abstract

Changes and degradation in the physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being of the elderly greatly affects the health status of the elderly. One of the physical changes in the elderly is urinary incontinence. The high incidence of urinary incontienence causes the need for physiotherapy with the pelvic floor excercise method. Pelvic floor exercise method aims to determine the effect of providing pelvic floor exercise to patients with urinary incontinence. This research is a quasi-experimental study using pre-test and post-test one group design. Total samples of 15 people were taken by accidental sampling. Stastical analysis using T-Test. The results obtained p value <α = (0,000 < 0.05)Which means that there is a significant influence on pelvic floor exercise on patients with urinary incontinence in the elderly at Grandmed Hospital. Suggestion for future researchers are expected to use a larger number of samples from this study and a longer reasearch time from this study so that the results obtained are more optimal.
