This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 420 women. The data were collected by using the "Descriptive Information Form", "SF-36 Quality of Life Scale (QoLS)" and "State Anxiety Inventory (SAI)". The data were evaluated with Mann-Whitney U-test, Student's t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Endometriosis had been diagnosed in 12.1% of the women. The score medians obtained by the women with endometriosis from the pain and physical role difficulty sub-dimensions of the QoLS were found to be significantly lower than those obtained by women without endometriosis. The presence of endometriosis was found not to affect the state anxiety in the women. A weak or moderately significant negative relationship was found between the number and onset time of the symptoms and certain sub-dimensions of the QoLS in the women with endometriosis.
本描述性和横断面研究共纳入 420 名女性。通过使用“描述性信息表”、“SF-36 生活质量量表(QoLS)”和“状态焦虑量表(SAI)”收集数据。采用曼-惠特尼 U 检验、学生 t 检验和皮尔逊相关分析对数据进行评估。诊断为子宫内膜异位症的女性占 12.1%。子宫内膜异位症患者 QoLS 中疼痛和身体角色困难子维度的得分中位数明显低于无子宫内膜异位症患者。子宫内膜异位症的存在并不影响女性的状态焦虑。在患有子宫内膜异位症的女性中,症状的数量和发病时间与 QoLS 的某些子维度之间存在弱或中度显著负相关关系。
