Through semi-structured in-depth interviews, the participants explained their experiences of urinary dysfunctions consequences. The obtained data were analyzed based on the content analysis method of Graneheim and Lundman. Results: The content analysis revealed three key themes: Physical consequences, psycho-emotional consequences, and economic consequences.

Therefore, treatment staff should address the MS patient’s concerns caused by urinary dysfunctions, in a non-threatening atmosphere, and help them to fearlessly manage their urinary problems. %> http://fdj.iums.ac.ir/article-1-130-en.pdf %P 45-52 %& 45 %!
