Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the mediating role of the partner's dyadic coping in improving the stigma and quality of life (QOL) of the patient with premature ejaculation (PE).
METHODS:We selected 480 PE patients seeking medical care in the clinic of urology and andrology from January to June 2023 by convenience sampling. Using a General Information Questionnaire, Dyadic Coping Inventory, Social Impact Scale, and Short-Form 12 Quality of Life Scale, we conducted an investigation among the patients and analyzed the mediation effect of the partner's dyadic coping on the patients' stigma and QOL.
RESULTS:The mean scores on the partner's dyadic coping and the patients' stigma and QOL were (68.58±14.96), (47.67±30.13) and (90.18±28.93), respectively, with a significant correlation between the partner's dyadic coping and the patients' stigma and QOL (P<0.01). And the partner's dyadic coping was found to have an evident mediating role in improving the stigma and QOL of the patients, with a mediation effect of 36.38% of the total effect.
CONCLUSION:The QOL of the PE patients is at a below-average level, and the partner's dyadic coping plays a mediating role in improving the stigma and QOL of the patients. Design of dyadic coping-related intervention plans is recommended to improve the partner's dyadic coping, reduce the stigma of the patients and increase their QOL.
