Psychosocial impact of human papillomavirus on women's sexual dissatisfaction and quality of life.
PURPOSE: This study assessed how psychological, socio-demographic and clinical variables were associated and moderated the relationship between sexual dissatisfaction and the psychosocial impact of the human papillomavirus (HPV) on the quality of life (QOL) of infected women.
METHODS: A cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 194 women. Participants completed a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, and were assessed on the psychosocial impact of HPV on quality of life (HPV Impact Profile), sexual dissatisfaction (Index of Sexual Satisfaction), psychological morbidity (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), emotional suppression (Courtauld Emotional Control Scale) and spirituality (Spiritual and Religious Attitudes in Dealing with Illness).
RESULTS: Women with greater psychological morbidity and emotional suppression showed greater psychosocial impact of HPV on QOL. Greater psychological morbidity and emotional suppression, being older, having less education and not using condoms were associated with greater sexual dissatisfaction. Sexual dissatisfaction, psychological morbidity and age were associated with the impact of HPV on QOL. The variables that contributed to sexual dissatisfaction were age, emotional suppression and condom use. The use of condoms moderated the relationship between emotional suppression and sexual dissatisfaction.
CONCLUSION: Interventions should focus on psychological morbidity and condom use, particularly in older and less educated women.
