Objective:To explore the mediating role of the partner's dyadic coping in improving the stigma and quality of life(QOL)of the patient with premature ejaculation(PE).Methods:We selected 480 PE patients seeking medical care in the clinic of urology and andrology from January to June 2023 by convenience sampling.Using a General Information Questionnaire,Dyadic Coping Inventory,Social Impact Scale,and Short-Form 12 Quality of Life Scale,we conducted an investigation among the patients and ana-lyzed the mediation effect of the partner's dyadic coping on the patients'stigma and QOL.Results:The mean scores on the partner's dyadic coping and the patients'stigma and QOL were(68.58±14.96),(47.67±30.13)and(90.18±28.93),respectively,with a significant correlation between the partner's dyadic coping and the patients'stigma and QOL(P＜0.01).And the partner's dyadic cop-ing was found to have an evident mediating role in improving the stigma and QOL of the patients,with a mediation effect of 36.38％of the total effect.Conclusion:The QOL of the PE patients is at a below-average level,and the partner's dyadic coping plays a media-ting role in improving the stigma and QOL of the patients.Design of dyadic coping-related intervention plans is recommended to im-prove the partners dyadic coping,reduce the stigma of the patients and increase their QOL.
