背景:肺动脉高压(PAH)可能对性功能产生多种影响,这会导致生活质量恶化。
目的:本研究旨在评估PAH女性的性功能及其与健康功能和生活质量的关系。
方法:于2022年1月至2023年3月在肺循环门诊中对诊断为肺动脉高压的女性进行了描述性横断面研究。通过应用女性性功能指数进行评估,世界卫生组织36项残疾评估时间表,和医学结果研究36项简短形式调查。
结果:使用SPSS版本22.0和JASP分析数据,和Spearman的相关性测试被应用在仪器之间,P值<.05被认为是显著的。
结果:共评估了91名女性。发现90.1%的女性有性功能障碍,在满意度方面有性功能障碍的女性得分更差,唤醒,和欲望,具有平均的健康功能和生活质量。移动性域之间存在显着相关性,相处,生命活动,以及一些性功能领域的整体功能评分,尤其是唤醒和满足。我们发现生活质量评估的某些领域与欲望领域之间存在显着相关性,唤醒,和满意,随着性功能评估的总体得分,以及健康功能和生活质量之间的强相关性。
结论:数据加强了该人群对康复计划和社会支持的需求。
■这是为数不多的评估性功能的研究之一,生活质量,和PAH女性的健康功能。由于数据收集的局限性,我们无法评估某些因素,如激素水平和性虐待史。
结论:我们发现,在患有轻度功能损害的PAH女性中,性功能障碍的患病率很高,生活质量评分中等,性功能之间存在相关性,健康功能,和生活质量。
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can have several consequences on sexual function, which can lead to worsened quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: The study sought to assess sexual function and its association with health functionality and quality of life in females with PAH.
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in pulmonary circulation outpatient clinics from January 2022 to March 2023 in females diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. Assessment was carried out through the application of the Female Sexual Function Index, the 36-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, and the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short Form Survey.
RESULTS: Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 and JASP, and Spearman\'s correlation tests were applied between the instruments, with a P value <.05 considered significant.
RESULTS: A total of 91 females were assessed. It was identified that 90.1% of females had sexual dysfunction, with worse scores in females with sexual dysfunction in the domains of satisfaction, arousal, and desire, with average health functionality and quality of life. There were significant correlations between the domains of mobility, getting along, life activities, and the overall functionality score with some domains of sexual function, especially arousal and satisfaction. We found significant correlations between some domains of quality-of-life assessment with the domains of desire, arousal, and satisfaction, and with the overall score of sexual function assessment, as well as strong correlations between health functionality and quality of life.
CONCLUSIONS: The data reinforce the need for rehabilitation programs and social support for this population.
UNASSIGNED: This is one of the few studies to evaluate sexual function, quality of life, and health functionality in women with PAH. Due to limitations in data collection, we were unable to assess certain factors such as hormone levels and a history of sexual abuse.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in females with PAH with mild functional impairment and a moderate quality-of-life score with correlations between sexual function, health functionality, and quality of life.
