| Popis: | Prior studies have suggested that urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS) can have severe adverse impact on quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to explore the impact of UCPPS symptoms in terms of symptoms and role limitations. We used a qualitative study based on a grounded theory approach, to describe patients’ perspective of symptoms and their life impact. Forty-seven patient in-depth semi-structured written responses were reviewed and major themes were summarized. Three significant themes emerged from the data, relating to physical health, emotional health and social health (role functioning). We propose a model suggesting that symptoms and mediated by personal and interpersonal factors to affect personal and social roles and QoL. Fatigue emerged as both a symptom and a consequence of UCPPS. Our model suggests that the significant role limitations associated with UCCPS may be mediated by modifiable personal and interpersonal factors not currently addressed in UCPPS treatment paradigms. |
