Abstract
Purpose

To explore the prevalence of hopelessness in patients diagnosed with endometriosis and how it may influence their relationships.

Material and methods

Prospective–descriptive study among patients with a clinical and/or anatomopathological diagnosis of endometriosis. Demographic data (age, religion, educational level, marital status, occupation, etc.) and pain data have been processed. Pain associated with endometriosis has been evaluated with an analogue scale of pain. The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) was used to determine the level of hopelessness. The results have been classified into 0–3 normal; 4–8 mild; 9–14 moderate and 15–20 severe. SPSS Statistics 26 has been used and the statistical significance has been stipulated at p<0.05.

Results

One hundred and ten patients have been recruited with an average age of 39.8±7.09 years. The average on the Beck Hopelessness Scale is 5.08 with a SD 3.14. In our sample, we obtained that 38.2% of women experienced some level of hopelessness at the time the questionnaire was completed (mild=28.2%, moderate=9.1%, severe=0.9%). We found a significant relation between hopelessness and low income but not with regard to education, employment status or marital status.

Regarding the pain experienced and its relation with hopelessness, we found that it was significantly connected to pain during urination and dyspareunia and not to chronic pelvic pain dysmenorrhea and dyschezia.

Conclusion

Four out of ten patients with endometriosis experience hopelessness, mostly mildly. This hopelessness is influenced by demographic factors such as income level and also pain, specifically pain during intercourse and during urination.

Resumen
Antecedentes

El objetivo es analizar la prevalencia de desesperanza en pacientes con endometriosis y cuáles pueden ser los factores relacionados con la misma.

Material y método

Se ha desarrollado un estudio prospectivo descriptivo entre mujeres con diagnóstico clínico y/o anatomopatológico de endometriosis. Se recogieron datos demográficos junto al grado de dolor evaluado por la escala visual analógica. Para el estudio de la desesperanza se ha empleado la Escala de Desesperanza de Beck (BHS). Los resultados fueron clasificados en 0-3 normal; 4-8 leve; 9-14 moderado y de 15-20 como severa. El programa estadístico empleado fue Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 26 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA) y se estipuló la significancia estadística en p<0,05.

Resultados

Un total de 110 pacientes fueron encuestadas con una edad media 39,8±7,09 años. La media obtenida en la escala es de 5,08 con una desviación estándar (DE) de 3,14. En nuestro estudio 38,2% de las participantes experimentaban desesperanza en algún grado (leve=28,2%, moderado=9,1%, severa=0,9%). Se ha encontrado una relación significativa entre la experimentación de desesperanza con usuarias con recursos económicos más bajos, pero no con la educación, situación laboral o estado civil. Con respecto al malestar experimentado, hemos observado una asociación con el provocado durante la micción o las relaciones sexuales, pero no con la disquecia, dismenorrea o el dolor pélvico crónico.

Conclusión

Cuatro de cada 10 pacientes con endometriosis experimentan un grado de desesperanza, principalmente leve. Se relaciona con dispareunia y dolor en la micción, así como en mujeres con bajos recursos económicos.
