Implications for practice and/or policy
• Managers should emphasize and encourage nurses to be trained about education and expertise in stress urinary incontinence in pregnant women during pregnancy.
• Nurses should assess stress urinary incontinence symptoms and apply pelvic floor muscle exercise to the nursing care for pregnant women to reduce the severity of stress urinary incontinence symptoms.
• Nurses should provide knowledge about urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle exercise for pregnant women by verbal instruction combined with handbooks that should be distributed for reviewing at home.
