Background: Te purpose of the study was to determine the quality of life in patients with bowel endometriosis before and afer laparoscopic bowel resection.Material and methods: In the retrospective study we included 91 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection of the bowel affected by endometriosis at the Unit for Reproduction and the Unit for Gynecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Ljubljana, in the period from 2002 to 2011. Te study was retrospective. Te patients were sent a questionnaire regarding the symptoms before surgery and the effect of surgery on bowel symptoms, painful menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, chronic pelvic pain and quality of life before and afer surgery; 76 (83.5 %) patients replied to the questionnaire.Results: Before surgery, 72 (94.7 %) patients reported painful menstruation. Improvement or complete relief afer surgery was registered in 57 (79.1 %). Out of 60 (78.9 %) patients who had painful sexual intercourse before surgery, 49 (81.7 %) reported improvement or complete relief afer surgery. Bowel symptoms, present in 52 (68.4 %) patients before surgery, improved or completely disappeared in 48 (92.4 %) afer surgery. Chronic pelvic pain, present in 53 (69.7 %) before surgery, decreased or did not exist any more in 45 patients (86.5 %). Te quality of life before surgery was very poor in 32 patients (42.1 %), and poor in 21 patients (27.8 %). Afer the operation, the quality of life was reported as improved in 22 (28.9 %) and signifcantly improved in 42 (55.3 %).Conclusions: Laparoscopic bowel resection, indicated in extensive symptomatic endometriosis, signifcantly improves the patients’ quality of life.

Purpose To determine the impact of chronic pelvic pain on quality of life in women with or without endometriosis Methods A total of 162 women with chronic pelvic pain were enrolled in a cross-sectional study and divided into two groups: 84 with endometriosis, 78 without endometriosis. Assessment of dysmenorrhea, non -menstrual pain, dyspareunia and diffuse abdominal pain by a visual analog scale, assessment of quality of life by SF-36. Results The endometriosis group showed more dysmenorrhea but less dyspareunia and non-menstrual pain than women affected by other diseases. Pain had a negative influence on quality of life in both groups, but the endometriosis group showed a greater negative impact in all areas of SF-36, yet only in three (physical role, physical pain and mental role) was the difference statistically significant. Conclusions Endometriosis impacts quality of life more than other forms of chronic pelvic pain. Interventions aimed at improving quality of life specifically designed for patients with chronic pelvic pain in general, and with endometriosis in particular, should be developed, tested, and integrated into the routine care regimen provided for these patients.

The objective was to evaluate the quality of life and the incidence of depression among women suffering from endometriosis. Afterwards, the dependency between pelvic pain, its severity and stages of endometriosis were analyzed. The study protocol included women of reproductive ages with confirmed endometriosis. The stage of disease was conferred according to the ASRM (American Society of Reproductive Medicine) classification. Women fulfilled two questionnaires: “WERF EPHect Clinical Questionnaire” and self-prepared survey about fertility disorders. The study group comprised of 246 respondents. A total of 77.2% of women were symptomatic. The most common complaints were chronic pelvic pain (CPP, 71.1%), dysmenorrhea (69.0%) and dyspareunia (45.2%). Intensity of pain was independent from the stage of endometriosis. The incidence of infertility and the time to conceive increased with the stage of disease (stage 1—52.8%, 3.4 years; stage 2—66.7%, 4.1 years; stage 3—61.3%, 3.7 years; stage 4—96%, 6.1years; p = 0.02 and 0.03, respectively). The prevalence of depression was positively correlated with the beginning of dyspareunia (14.5 vs. 19.6 years old., p = 0.002). CPP (OR(odds ratio) = 3.8, 95% CI 1.2–12.8, p = 0.04) and painful defecation (OR = 7.7, 95% CI 1.4–42.3, p = 0.01) increased the risk of depression. Symptoms related to endometriosis and severity of pain correlate with the prevalence of depression. Stage of endometriosis is significantly related to the prevalence of infertility.

Abstract Introduction and hypothesis Qualitative research has an increasing role in the development of core outcome sets (COS) adding patient perspectives to the considerations of core outcomes. We aimed to identify priorities of women with experience of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Methods The search strategy was a systematic review of qualitative studies identified from Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycInfo databases. Selection criteria were qualitative studies exploring the experience of women with CPP. Two independent researchers extracted data and summarized findings using thematic analysis. A CERQual assessment was performed to assess the confidence of review findings. Results We identified pertinent issues affecting women with CPP including the lack of holistic care, influence of psychosocial factors and the impact of pain on quality of life. Five meta-themes central to delivering a patient-centred approach were highlighted: acceptance of pain, quality of life, management of CPP, communication and support. Management of CPP was the most commonly reported meta-theme across seven studies and half of studies reported quality of life, management, communication and support. Quality appraisal of included studies identified only a single study that met all CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) criteria. There was high confidence in the evidence for acceptance of pain, quality of life and communication meta-themes. Conclusion Meta-themes revealed by this review should be considered as a priority and reflected in outcomes reported by future studies evaluating interventions for CPP. In addition, these themes should be considered by clinicians managing women with CPP.

The Impact

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, which is distinguished by the presence of the endometrial-like glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Pain and infertility are the most commonly expressed symptoms, occurring in 60% and 40% of cases, respectively. Women with endometriosis, especially those with pelvic pain, also have a greater vulnerability to several psychiatric disorders. There is, in particular, a tendency to contract affective or anxiety disorders as well as panic-agoraphobic and substance use disorders. Endometriosis with pelvic pain, infertility and psychic vulnerability usually leads to disability and a markedly lower quality of life for women of reproductive age. Thus, the burden of endometriosis is not limited to the symptoms and dysfunctions of the disease; it extends to the social, working and emotional spheres, leading to a severe impairment of global functioning. An analysis of scientific literature revealed a close relationship between specific temperamental traits, the expression of several psychiatric symptoms, chronicity of pain, risk of substance use and lower probability of a positive outcome. Endometriosis symptoms and the impact of related psychological consequences, increased vulnerability and the possible onset of psychiatric symptoms may influence coping strategies and weaken resilience, so triggering a vicious cycle leading to a marked deterioration in the quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach consisting of a medical team composed of gynecologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, experts in Dual Disorder, algologists and sexologists, would guarantee the setting of a target and taking the best decision on a personalized treatment plan. That approach would allow the prompt detection of any psychopathological symptoms and improve the endometriosis-related physical symptoms, bringing a healthier quality of life and a greater likelihood of a positive outcome.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.
