Sexuality and intimacy following radical prostatectomy: Patient and partner perspectives
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½
Sexuality and intimacy following radical prostatectomy: Patient and partner perspectives HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY Perez, M. A., Skinner, E. C., Meyerowitz, B. E. 2002; 21 (3): 288-293Abstract
Most ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ on adjustment following radical prostatectomy has focused on limited assessments of urinary and erectile functioning. In this study, the authors provided a more comprehensive assessment of sexuality from 134 radical prostatectomy patients and their partners and determined the extent to which various components of sexuality are associated with psychosocial adjustment. Measures of sexuality and intimacy modestly predicted patients' emotional distress and quality of life (QoL), with body image and dyadic adjustment playing the most important roles after controlling for medical variables, general physical functioning, and optimistic outlook. Urinary incontinence and other sexuality variables were not unique predictors. In contrast, partner ratings of sexual satisfaction played a more important role in predicting their QoL.
