This study aimed to explore the pre- and postoperative differences in quality of life and perceived social support of Female-to-Male transsexual patients who underwent mastectomy and complete hysterectomy. Sixty-three Female-to-Male female individuals who underwent complete hysterectomy and mastectomy between November 2019 and November 2020 were included in this study. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form. The pre- and postoperative perceived social support mean scores of patients were 57.2 ± 9.0 and 74.9 ± 7.3, respectively. The pre- and postoperative quality of life mean scores of patients were 76.9 ± 8.3 and 107.8 ± 10.1, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the measurements ( < .05). In addition, the patients whose education level was primary school, whose income was less than their expenditure, whose father was a primary school graduate, whose family had a strict family opinion on sexuality, whose family had a traditional view, and who had a high body mass index were found to have higher postoperative social support perceptions and quality of life. The patients' postoperative quality of life and perceived social support improved after sex reassignment surgery.
本研究旨在探讨接受乳房切除术和全子宫切除术的女性变男性跨性别患者术前和术后生活质量和感知社会支持的差异。本研究纳入了 2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 11 月期间接受全子宫切除术和乳房切除术的 63 名女性变男性个体。使用个人信息表、多维感知社会支持量表和世界卫生组织生活质量量表短表收集数据。患者术前和术后感知社会支持的平均得分为 57.2±9.0 和 74.9±7.3,患者术前和术后生活质量的平均得分为 76.9±8.3 和 107.8±10.1。这些测量值之间存在显著差异(<0.05)。此外,发现教育程度为小学、收入低于支出、父亲为小学毕业、家庭对性取向有严格意见、家庭观念传统以及体重指数较高的患者术后社会支持感知和生活质量更高。性再分配手术后,患者的术后生活质量和感知社会支持得到改善。
