Some authors insist that patients with mixed incontinence (MI) suffer from more anxiety than those with pure stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to the added emotional stress caused by various symptoms of an overactive bladder. We objectively evaluated and compared the degree of anxiety between the two groups.
Among 172 patients who presented with urinary incontinence, 118 showed MI and 54 SUI. They were surveyed regarding their anxiety using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) questionnaire.
The mean BAI score was 12.0+/-8.8 in the MI group and 7.8+/-5.2 in the SUI group and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).
This study provides objective evidence that patients with MI have a higher degree of anxiety than those with pure SUI. Therefore, we suggest that doctors should pay more attention to anxiety symptoms when caring for patients with MI.
一些作者坚持认为，混合性尿失禁（MI）患者比单纯性压力性尿失禁（SUI）患者承受更多焦虑，因为膀胱过度活动症的各种症状会带来额外的情绪压力。我们客观地评估并比较了两组患者的焦虑程度。
在172例尿失禁患者中，118例为MI，54例为SUI。使用贝克焦虑量表（BAI）问卷对他们的焦虑情况进行调查。
MI组BAI平均得分为12.0±8.8，SUI组为7.8±5.2，差异具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。
本研究提供了客观证据，表明MI患者比单纯SUI患者有更高程度的焦虑。因此，我们建议医生在护理MI患者时应更加关注焦虑症状。
