ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We sought to determine the relationship of patient-centered goal achievement in pelvic floor disorder (PFD) treatment to PFD-specific quality-of-life (QOL), depression, health status, and patient satisfaction. STUDYDESIGN:
Ninety women with PFD identified up to 5 goals for treatment and reported their level of goal attainment (-2 to +2) at 1.5, 3, 6, and 12 months; completed the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Urogenital Distress Inventory, Incontinence Quality-of-Life Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, and Short Form-12 Health Survey; and indicated their satisfaction with treatment.RESULTS:
Twelve-month mean goal attainment was moderately correlated with PFD-specific measures of QOL (r range, -0.40 to 0.55; P < .05) but less strongly with depression and general health status (r range, -0.27 to 0.28). Twelve-month goal attainment differed significantly among those who were completely satisfied (1.6 +/- 0.5), very satisfied (1.2 +/- 0.6), satisfied (0.4-1.0), or not satisfied (-0.5 +/- 0.9; F = 24.2; P < .01). Earlier follow-up results were similar.CONCLUSION:
PFD treatment goal attainment is associated with improved condition-specific QOL and patient satisfaction.
