Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In order to assess the impact of the UI, the ICIQ-SF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form), which is simple, brief, with four questions, will be used. (Fischer-Sgrott et al, 2009) (Taminini JTN), which is the most commonly used questionnaire, , et al 2004) .22,21 To verify this outcome, the questionnaire will be applied before and after the intervention, which will measure the difference between the values of the initial questionnaire and the final one, to see if there has been improvement in the form of comparison of numerical data. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measure the number of urine losses. To evaluate urinary habit, the Urinal Dose will be used to quantify the diurnal and nocturnal voiding frequency and the number of urinary losses. The volunteers will be instructed to complete for three days in a table provided by the researchers the number of toilet visits and the number of urinary losses (Marques AA, et al, 2009). To verify this outcome the voiding diary will be evaluated before intervention and after the end of it, which will be measured the difference of the values of the initial voiding diary to the end, to see if there was improvement in comparison of numerical data.;To measure the quality of life of these women after stroke with UI. To evaluate quality of life (QOL), the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) will be used to develop a QOL concept with positive points (medication mobility, role performance, contentment) and (fatigue, pain, drug dependence, and negative feelings). (COSTA, RC, 2013). The questionnaire consists of 26 questions, with five options sorted into a value ranging from 1 to 5 for each response, with 24 questions representing one of the four domains that make up the original instrument and two general quality of life issues. (VIEGAS, K et al, 2009). The WHOQOL-bref QOL general questionnaire is divided into four domains: physical, psychological, social and environmental. Each specific domain is evaluated according to the values obtained through the WHOQOL-bref, where the higher the score obtained (maximum = 100), the better the QoL related to that domain. (Knorst, MR, et al, 2011). In order to verify this outcome, the quality of life questionnaire will evaluate before and after the intervention, which will measure the difference between the initial and final values, to see whether there was improvement in comparison of numerical data. | — |
