Objective To investigate the status quo of disease perception and partner support of erectile dysfunction(ED)patients,and to analyze their correlation.Methods With convenient sampling method,220 ED patients in a first-class hospital in Taiyuan were surveyed with the short version of disease perception questionnaire(BIPQ)and partner support coping ques-tionnaire(DCI).Results The BIPQ score was(41.90±7.33),and the DCI score was(116.79±20.37).Pearson correlation analysis showed that except life influence,treatment control and emotional influence,the mutual support dimension of partner support of ED patients was correlated with all dimensions of disease perception(r=-0.173,0.151,-0.182,0.163,0.188,P<0.05).Except cognitive comprehension,the negative support dimension of partner support of ED patients was correlated with the dimensions and total score of disease perception(r=0.399,0.185,-0.167,-0.306,0.269,0.445,0.320,0.357,P<0.05).Conclusion ED patients have negative disease perception,and their partners have better coping strategies.Medical staff may pay more attention to partner support so as to reduce patients'negative perception of disease and promote recovery.
