The Effect of Body Attitude on Psychological Well-Being and Sexual Satisfaction of Male Patients Undergoing Urologic Surgery: A Descriptive and Correlational Study
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effect of body attitudes on psychological well-being and sexual satisfaction of male patients who will undergo urological surgery.
The study is descriptive and correlational. The data were collected from 111 male patients residing in a province of Türkiye between August-October 2024 who will undergo urologic surgery through Google form. The data were collected using the “Personal Information Form”, “WHO-5 Well-Being Index”, “Men-Specific Body Attitude Scale” and “New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short Form”. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation test, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
It was determined that body attitudes of male patients who will undergo urologic surgery also affect their psychological well-being and sexual satisfaction. In addition, marital status, sexual and psychological effects of the disease, medical diagnosis, body dissatisfaction caused by the disease, and cohabitants were also found to be associated with body attitude, psychological well-being and sexual satisfaction and some of its sub-dimensions (p<0.05).
According to the results of the study, it is recommended that especially psychiatry and surgical clinic nurses should organize interviews and training programs for these patients in order to understand the negative effects of urological problems on men's sexual health. In addition, psychological support should be provided to these patients and their body perception should be evaluated and appropriate psychotherapeutic intervention should be provided.

Ürolojik Cerrahi Geçirecek Erkek Hastaların Beden Tutumunun Psikolojik İyilik Halleri ve Cinsel Doyuma Etkisi: Tanımlayıcı ve İlişkisel Bir Araştırma
Abstract
Bu araştırma, ürolojik cerrahi geçirecek erkek hastaların beden tutumlarının psikolojik iyilik halleri ve cinsel doyumları üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel tiptedir. Veriler Ağustos-Ekim 2024 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin bir ilinde ikamet eden ve ürolojik cerrahi geçirecek 111 erkek hastadan Google form aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veriler “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “WHO-5 İyilik Hali İndeksi”, “Erkeklere Özgü Beden Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Yeni Cinsel Doyum Ölçeği-Kısa Form” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon testi, bağımsız örneklem t-testi, one-way ANOVA ve regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır.
Ürolojik cerrahi geçirecek erkek hastaların beden tutumlarının, psikolojik iyilik hallerini ve cinsel tatminlerini de etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu hastaların medeni durumu, hastalığın cinsel ve psikolojik etkisi, tıbbi tanısı, hastalığın neden olduğu beden memnuniyetsizliği ve birlikte yaşadığı kişilerin de beden tutumu, psikolojik iyilik hali ve cinsel doyumu ve alt boyutlarından bazıları ile ilişkisi olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05).
Araştırma sonucuna göre, toplumda ürolojik sorunların erkek cinsel sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkisinin anlaşılması için özellikle psikiyatri ve cerrahi klinik hemşirelerinin bu hastalara yönelik görüşme ve eğitim programları düzenlemesi önerilmektedir. Ayrıca bu hastalara psikolojik destek sağlanmalı ve beden algılarına yönelik değerlendirip uygun psikoterapötik müdahale de bulunulmalıdır.
