The research was conducted in a descriptive manner to determine the sexual life quality of women experiencing urinary incontinence. The research was conducted between January and May 2022 with women who applied to a university hospital with any complaints. The sample of the study consisted of 290 women over the age of 18 who met the inclusion criteria and had urinary incontinence complaints. In the study, data were collected by face-to-face interview technique using the participant information form and the sexual quality of life questionnaire-female (SQSQ-F) Form. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H Analysis were used in the analysis of the data obtained. In evaluating the data, the significance level was accepted as p < 0.05. The average SQSQ-F score of the women participating in the research was found to be 64.10. It was determined that the quality of sexual life of women with undergraduate/graduate education showed a statistically significant difference compared to other groups (p < 0.05). It was determined that the sexual life quality of women with chronic diseases differed statistically significantly compared to women without chronic diseases (p < 0.05). It was determined that the sexual life quality of women who went through menopause showed a statistically significant difference compared to women who did not go through menopause (p < 0.05). Within the scope of this research, it was determined that women’s SQSQ-F score was above average, but women’s educational status, chronic disease, giving birth, giving birth three times or more, having an abortion, going through menopause, having a urinary tract infection, and the frequency of urinary incontinence significantly affected the quality of sexual life.
