Abstract:
Objective:To explore the related factors of the psychological symptoms in males with traumatic urethral stricture and to test the mediating effect of social support and coping style on traumatic urethral stricture and psychological symptoms.Methods:Totally 43 male patientswith traumatic urethral stenosis and 1 ∶ 1 matched 43 healthy control subjects were selected as the study samples in the Urology Department of a Third Grade Hospital in Beijing.The Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the psychological symptoms of the subjects.The Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) were used to assess the social support and coping styles of the subjects.The non-parametric percentile Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect of social support and coping style between traumatic urethral stricture and psychological symptoms.Results:The SCL-90 total scores were higher in patients with traumatic urethral stricture than in healthy controls [(2.9 ± 0.6) vs.(2.4 ± 0.7),P ＜ 0.01].The mediating effect of social support and coping style on psychological symptoms was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the SCL-90 total scores were higher in males with traumatic urethral stricture than in normal controls (β =0.55,95％ CI:0.18 -0.92).PSSS family support scores were negatively correlated with SCL-90 scores (β =-0.10,95％ CI:-0.14--0.06).Conclusion:It suggests that male traumatic urethral stricture may cause psychological symptoms which may be associated with family support.
