Abstract

AimThe study aimed to analyse selected clinical data affecting the quality of life of women with endometriosis.DesignA cross‐sectional study.MethodThe study was conducted in 2020–2022 among 425 women with endometriosis receiving health care. A diagnostic survey method with a questionnaire technique was used. The research tools are the Endometriosis Health Profile and a standardised interview questionnaire.ResultsInfertility, medical treatment and sexual intercourse were the dimensions of quality of life most poorly rated by respondents with endometriosis. Lower quality of life was linked to the presence of painful periods, the presence of pain during intercourse and having surgery for endometriosis.ConclusionThe main clinical variables influencing the quality of life of women with endometriosis include problems with getting pregnant, the necessity for long‐term therapy and sexual problems caused by the condition. The occurrence of painful menstruation, dyspareunia and having undergone surgery for endometriosis is associated with lower ratings of women's general quality of life.Implications for the ProfessionThe study will help to develop a more holistic approach to caring for endometriosis patients. This will result in a better diagnosis, individualised therapy and psychological support, all of which will enhance the overall quality of life. The study's results may impact the development of health policies, endometriosis support services for women and public awareness initiatives.ImpactThe study highlighted key determinants affecting health‐related quality of life for women with endometriosis. The analysis of clinical data revealed that infertility, treatment and dyspareunia are the dimensions of quality of life most poorly rated by women with endometriosis. These findings are significant for those providing care to women with endometriosis, as well as for policymakers responsible for the organisation of health care systems.Reporting MethodThe STROBE guidelines.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

影响子宫内膜异位症妇女生活质量的临床因素

研究旨在分析影响子宫内膜异位症妇女生活质量的部分临床数据。采用了诊断调查法和问卷技术。研究工具为子宫内膜异位症健康档案和标准化访谈问卷。结果子宫内膜异位症受访者对生活质量评价最差的方面是不孕症、医疗和性交。结论影响子宫内膜异位症妇女生活质量的主要临床变量包括怀孕问题、长期治疗的必要性以及由该疾病引起的性问题。痛经、排便困难和接受过子宫内膜异位症手术与妇女总体生活质量评分较低有关。这项研究将有助于为子宫内膜异位症患者制定更全面的护理方法，从而获得更好的诊断、个性化治疗和心理支持，所有这些都将提高患者的整体生活质量。这项研究的结果可能会对卫生政策的制定、为妇女提供的子宫内膜异位症支持服务以及提高公众意识的举措产生影响。对临床数据的分析表明，不孕症、治疗和排便困难是子宫内膜异位症妇女对生活质量评价最差的方面。这些发现对于为子宫内膜异位症妇女提供医疗服务的人员以及负责组织医疗保健系统的政策制定者来说意义重大。报告方法STROBE指南。
