Abstract

BACKGROUND

Among Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implanted patients, body image modifications might occur.

OBJECTIVES

To explore the associations between sexual functioning, confidence in LVAD technology, personal wellbeing, and body image.

METHODS

The cross-sectional study included 30 conveniently recruited LVAD implanted patients who completed Body Image Scale, sexual functioning, confidence in LVAD technology, and Personal Wellbeing Index questionnaires. The associations between the research variables were examined with multiple regression analyses.

RESULTS

The mean age of the participants was 63 (SD=10), 90% were men. The mean scores were: sexual functioning - 2.43 (SD=1.20, range 1-5); confidence in LVAD technology - 2.63 (SD=1.04, range 1-5); Well-Being Index - 6.61 (SD=1.53, range 0-10); and body image - 14.5 (SD=4.17, range 5-20). Sexual functioning (p<.01) and LVAD technology confidence (p=.04) significantly predicted body image.

CONCLUSIONS

Healthcare professionals should be aware of challenges regarding body image faced by LVAD implanted patients and to address related factors.

摘要

背景

在植入左心室辅助装置 (LVAD) 的患者中，可能会出现身体形象改变。

目的

探讨性功能、对 LVAD 技术的信心、个人幸福感与身体形象之间的关系。

方法

这项横断面研究纳入了 30 名方便招募的植入 LVAD 的患者，他们完成了身体形象量表、性功能、对 LVAD 技术的信心和个人幸福感指数问卷。使用多元回归分析检验了研究变量之间的关系。

结果

参与者的平均年龄为 63（SD=10），90%为男性。平均得分分别为：性功能 - 2.43（SD=1.20，范围 1-5）；对 LVAD 技术的信心 - 2.63（SD=1.04，范围 1-5）；幸福感指数 - 6.61（SD=1.53，范围 0-10）；以及身体形象 - 14.5（SD=4.17，范围 5-20）。性功能（p<.01）和对 LVAD 技术的信心（p=.04）显著预测了身体形象。
