Abstract

To investigate the impact of war situation on physical functioning, mental health status, and disease manifestations among endometriosis patients. Questionnaire-based study analyzing physical and psychosocial well-being. The study includes 50 endometriosis patients at Sheba Medical Center who completed a detailed questionnaire before and after the onset of the October 7, 2023, War in Israel. Significant deterioration in physical and mental health after the onset of war (pain score 6 vs 7; p < 0.001). Although having a first-degree relative affected by the war was associated with health deterioration (OR, 5.44; p = 0.02), similar pattern of health status aggregation was observed also in a subgroup of 19 women without family involvement, suggesting the general war situation as a likely cause. Starting new anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications and psychological therapy had a protective effect (OR, 0.21; p = 0.05). War situation exacerbates endometriosis symptoms, highlighting the importance of early psychological interventions to mitigate negative impacts.

战争局势对子宫内膜异位症患者的影响：评估身心健康结果。

调查战争局势对子宫内膜异位症患者的身体机能、心理健康状况和疾病表现的影响。以问卷调查为基础，分析身体和心理健康状况。研究对象包括以色列谢巴医疗中心的 50 名子宫内膜异位症患者，他们在 2023 年 10 月 7 日以色列战争爆发前后填写了一份详细的调查问卷。战争爆发后，患者的身体和精神健康状况明显恶化（疼痛评分为 6 分 vs 7 分；P P = 0.02），在没有家庭参与的 19 名女性亚组中也观察到了类似的健康状况聚集模式，这表明战争的总体局势可能是导致健康状况恶化的原因之一。开始服用新的抗焦虑或抗抑郁药物和接受心理治疗具有保护作用（OR，0.21；P = 0.05）。战争局势加剧了子宫内膜异位症的症状，这凸显了早期心理干预对减轻负面影响的重要性。
