Abstract: Women suffer from one or the other health issues during their life time, of which majority come across the problem called urinary incontinence (UI). UI is defined as ‘the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine’ (Abrams et al 2002). [39] METHODS: Research design- True experimental; pre test – post test only design. Module- VATS on PFME.

In experimental group the overall pretest mean score was 20.1±4.3, where as in post test mean score was 14.2±4.3 with mean difference 5.94 and paired ‘t’ test value was 13.85, higher than tabulated value (2.05) with df=29 at 5 % level of significance which was highly significant. In control group the overall pretest mean score was 17.8±3.7, where as in post test mean score was 18.6 ± 3.7, with mean difference 0.8 and paired ‘t’ test value was 3.9, with df=29 at 5 % level of significance.
