The research on the correlation between social psychological factors and the physical and psychological symptoms of patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Objective To investigate the role of social psychological factors in the development of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS).Methods We recruited a clinical cohort of 181 individuals and conducted a multidimensional analysis of social characteristics in CP/CPPS patients using common clinical scales such as NIH-CPSI,HADS,SSRS,and SES.Results CP/CPPS patients with symptoms of anxiety exhibited lower levels of objective social support(P＜0.01)and higher scores on the Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(P＜0.01).Those with symptoms of depression showed lower levels of subjective social support and social support utilization(P＜0.05),although their scores on the Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index did not significantly differ from those without depression.CP/CPPS patients with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression demonstrated lower self-esteem scores(P＜0.001),and there was a correlation between emotional symptom scores and self-esteem scores.Conclusion Both social support and self-esteem play critical roles in CP/CPPS,with variations observed in social support among patients with symptoms of anxiety or depression.Lower self-esteem in CP/CPPS patients may be associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression,potentially exacerbating the subjective perception of CP/CPPS symptoms.
