Abstract
Helping women make sense of incontinence and overcome inertia and ambivalence could improve adherence, but this may be a prolonged process Keywords: Adherence, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Pelvic Floor Muscle Training, Qualitative Research, Urinary ncontinence INTRODUCTION Urinary incontinence (Ul) is common. While the benefits of PFMT can be retained longer term, this requires that exercise dose continues at or above the threshold required to maintain therapeutic benefit or a decline in effect is observed (Dumoulin et al., 2015). [...]two researchers commented on codes, emerging themes, and the extent to which raw data represented the themes. [...]three researchers refined the nterpretation, checking that no further themes were present, and finally confirmed which transcript examples were to illustrate the themes.
