The mean PIKQ-incontinence knowledge test score was 7.55, the PIKQ prolapse knowledge test score was 5.28, and the total score was 12.83. The PIKQ scores of the students were calculated as 66.6% out of 100, which is the incontinence subscale score of 8. The equivalent of 6 points out of 100, which is the prolapse subscale score, was calculated as 50%. The PIKQ scores of the participants were found to be significantly higher in women, those who had heard of urinary incontinence before and those who had heard of pelvic organ prolapse (p
