Methods: The analysis of the contents of the quality of life questionnaires and the ICF was performed using the methodology proposed by Cieza et al. To assess the disability of women with urinary incontinence, a cross-sectional study was conducted using the 36-item version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0). Results: The product of the studies is presented in two scientific articles. The link between the content of the quality of life scales and the ICF showed that the instruments have, mostly, a structure still based on the biomedical model, with a great focus on clinical aspects. The cross-sectional study revealed, through the analysis of the means of WHODAS 2.0, that women with urinary incontinence have greater disability regarding the domains of cognition and mobility, in addition to the total score. Qualitative analysis of disability revealed 42.5% of these women had moderate to severe disability. Conclusion: The results presented serve as a starting point for the discussion of urinary incontinence in the light of functioning, assisting clinicians that assists incontinent women to review their practices and outline new strategies for attention to this public, transposing the biomedical model of approach to the health-disease process and using the biopsychosocial approach, as recommended by the World Health Organization.Acesso AbertoIncontinência urináriaClassificação Internacional de FuncionalidadeIncapacidade e saúdeQualidade de vidaFuncionalidadePercepção de saúdemasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE: CIÊNCIAS DA REABILITAÇÃO
