Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between anxiety,depression and the symptoms of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/PBS) patients,improving the psychological knowledge of IC/PBS patients,providing theoretical basis for psychological intervention.Methods During November 2009 to October 2011,54 IC/PBS patients including 42 women and 12 men patients were treated,with mean age of (41.0±12.4) years and mean course of the disease of (63.0±59.2) months.O'Leary-Sant questionnaire was used for IC/PBS symptoms assessment,and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain associated with bladder,Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used for anxiety assessment,and Beck Depression Inventory Ⅱ (BDI-Ⅱ) was used for depression assessment.The relationship between depression,anxiety and the symptoms of IC/PBS patients was evaluated.Results Of the 54 IC/PBS patients,mean ICSI score was (15.0±1.84) points,mean ICPI score was (8.0±2.6) points,mean O'Leary-Sant questionnaire score was (24.0±3.9) points,mean VAS score was (7.0± 1.0) points,mean anxiety score was (52.0± 7.2) points,with 35 cases (64.8％) suffering from anxiety symptoms.Mean depression symptoms score was (16.0±4.5) points,with 41 cases (75.9％) suffering from depressive symptoms.The degree of anxiety and depression were associated with education level,the sleep quality and monthly income of IC/PBS patients.Anxiety and depression had no definite correlation with marital status and working conditions.Anxiety and depression were closely related (proportion) with the symptoms (frequency,urgency,pain or discomfortrelated to bladder) of IC/PBS patients.Conclusions Anxiety and depression are common in patients with IC/PBS,and they are related to symptom severity.In order to improve the quality of life,much attention must be paid to psychological condition assessment and treatment of IC/PBS patients.
