The Importance Of Pelvic Floor Exercises

 

ABSTRACT

 

In spite of the importance of Pelvic Floor Exercises (PFE) as an

intervention for stress incontinence, PFE has not been implemented as a

routine procedure of care in any antenatal clinics throughout Brunei

Darussalam.

Limitations such as lack of skills and knowledge on evidence based

research, and also, lack of support play a major role for PFE not

professionally utilized.

Therefore, in this extended project, several studies were reviewed to

examine the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises during childbirth. This

will provide evidence based literature on PFE thus prepare the midwives

with adequate and appropriate knowledge for the successful implementation

of this procedure as a routine midwifery care. Some recommendations were

also drawn from the studies which can be used as a guide throughout the

proses of implementation.

Though PFE was not practically and academically taught in Brunei’s College

of Nursing, both providing information and instruction on the antenatal

basis should be neither neglected nor unimplemented. Thus, it is important

to emphasize the role of the midwife as a health promoter ensuring all

women receive quality verbal information and instruction on PFE through

the implementation of it as a routine midwifery care.
