Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of a 4-week video-based education program in enhancing urinary continence among women with urinary incontinence referred for pelvic floor rehabilitation The main question it aims to answer is : • Does a structured video-based education program reduce the symptoms of urinary incontinence before any pelvic floor muscle strengthening ? Researchers will compare this program to a paper document (providing similar information) to see if this improves urinary continence in women suffering from urinary incontinence. Participants will : * receive either the video-based education program or a paper information document (providing similar information) prior to the sessions with the physiotherapist * then follow pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions with the physiotherapist according to usual practice * complete the urinary incontinence questionnaire after the 4-week video education program (intervention group) or 4 weeks after receiving the paper document (control group), and after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session with the physiotherapist and at the end of the sessions * will be monitored at 1 and 2 years to evaluate urinary incontinence following the intervention.

Detailed description

The video-based education program will include 4 workshops of 20 minutes each, at a rate of 1 video per week: Video 1: Anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor; Video 2: Physiology of the urinary tract; Video 3: Physiology of the digestive tract; Video 4: Pathophysiology of urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders (genital prolapse and anal incontinence) and preventive measures in daily activities.
