Comparison of pain catastrophizing and anxiety in patients with dyspareunia and healthy women : a cross-sectional study
©2023 JOURNAL of MEDICINE and LIFE..
Despite the prominent role of cognitive-affective variables, such as pain catastrophizing and anxiety in chronic pain, little is known about their relationship with dyspareunia. This study compared pain-catastrophizing and anxiety in reproductive-aged women with and without dyspareunia. A controlled cross-sectional study was conducted on 398 married women in Iran selected by convenience sampling. Sampling was performed both online and in person. Data were collected using a checklist designed for the study, including background characteristics, self-reported dyspareunia, and two standard questionnaires: the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-6 (STAI-6). Results showed that 49.5% of the women reported dyspareunia in the previous six months, with a reduced figure of 42% and 31% when using more specific criteria for dyspareunia. Women with dyspareunia had significantly higher scores for pain catastrophizing and anxiety than the control group without dyspareunia. Pain-catastrophizing was associated with aversion to genital contact and body image dissatisfaction. Anxiety was correlated with age, marriage duration, and sexual abuse. Managing anxiety and catastrophizing thoughts may help dyspareunia patients better cope with pain.
