| Summary: | 碩士 === 中臺科技大學 === 護理研究所 === 96 === In this study, we investigated the effect of sitting position and the non-sitting positions (partly squatting, crouching over) in uroflowmetric parameters and post voiding residual urine (PVR). Forty-five normal healthy women were recruited, with a mean age of 23.2±4.6 years (range 18-34 years). Each woman was measured with uroflowmetry and PVR in the sitting, partly squatting, and crouching over the sitting-type public toilets. A weight transducer urodynamic device (Medical Measurement Systems MMS Flowmarst) was used for uroflowmetric measures, such as delay time, time to peak flow, the maximum flow rate (Qmax)). PVR were measured using transabdominal ultrasound (BIV6400) after each voiding position. There were no difference was found in the maximum flow rate (Qmax), corrected maximum flow rate (cQmax), voiding volume (VV), voiding time (VT) and post voiding residual urine (PVR) among three positions. However, ”Delay time” was statistically significantly shorter in sitting compared to in partly squatting and in crouching over positions. ”Time to peak flow” was statistically significantly shorter in sitting compared to in crouching over position. In addition, most women had bell-shaped uroflowmetry curves in sitting position. On the other hand, there were mostly presented non bell-shaped uroflowmetry curves in partly squatting and crouching over positions. Compared to non-sitting positions, sitting position to void does have shorter “ delay time” and “time to peak flow”.
