Seven themes were summarised and used to explain the pelvic floor rehabilitation behaviours of pregnant women with stress urinary incontinence. Twenty pregnant women with stress urinary incontinence were interviewed. The data were analysed using a combination of inductive and deductive methods. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with pregnant women with stress urinary incontinence based on the Theoretical Domain Framework. MethodsĪ descriptive, qualitative design was used in this study. Using Theoretical Domain Framework, this study aimed to identify barriers and enablers of pelvic floor rehabilitation behaviours in pregnant women with stress urinary incontinence. As a comprehensive framework for behavioural theory, the Theoretical Domain Framework allows for comprehensive identification of behavioural determinants. However, effective management of urinary incontinence is far from achievable owing to the low adherence of pregnant women in partaking in pelvic floor rehabilitation. Early pelvic floor management is of great significance in promoting the recovery of pelvic floor tissues in pregnant women. Stress urinary incontinence during pregnancy is closely related to the occurrence of postpartum and long-term urinary incontinence.
