A majority of participants were female (n = 431, 81.8%) and their average age was 33.8 years (SD 12.3). The university is located in Samsun, a city located in northern Turkey.

Psychometric measurements were obtained using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's \u03b1 reliability analysis. Exploratory factor analysis incorporated principal component analysis and varimax rotation. <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">t<\/jats:italic> Tests and 1-way analysis of variance were used to compare subdimensions of the Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise with some variables (sex, education status, marital status, make Kegel exercises regularly, etc).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Results supported a scale having 49 items and 6 subscales per factor analysis explaining 59.8% of total variance. With exploratory factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient was 0.899 and Barlett test result was \u03c7\u00b2 = 18389.424 (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = .001). Cronbach's \u03b1 coefficients for the scale varied between 0.79 and 0.94.
