Popis:	Aims This study aimed to explore experiences of women with urinary incontinence (UI) according to the Roy Adaptation Model (RAM). Methods A phenomenological design was used in this study, and its conceptual framework was formed by the RAM. The sample was composed of 12 women with UI. Face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted according to data collection tools. Semi-structured interviews were recorded in audio-recording device. Thematic approach was used to assess the data. Results The average age of the women was 52.77 +/- 7.32 years, seven women had menopause, eight had vaginal birth. According to the thematic approach, four main themes emerged: physiological mode, self-esteem mode, role function mode, and interdependence mode and they had difficulties in this regard.

These factors are important to consider when developing strategies to address UI, diagnosis, and treatment.
