| Abstract | ||
| Background: Endometriosis is a widespread problem that has devastating effects on women reproductive health, causing chronic pelvic pain and correlated with significantly negative impacts on sexual life quality. Improving pain coping strategies have a substantial influence on chronic pelvic pain management through continuous care model. Aim: To evaluate the effect of continuous care model on pain coping strategies and sexual quality of life among women with endometriosis related chronic pelvic pain. Design: In order to accomplish the aim of this research, a quasi-experimental research design, specifically a one-group time series design, was implemented. Setting: The study was carried out at the Obstetrics & Gynecological Outpatient Clinic within the Qaliobya governorate of Egypt, which is affiliated with Benha University Hospitals. Sample: 76 women who were medically diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis were selected as a purposive sample. Tools: A structured self- administered questionnaire, numerical rating scale, coping strategies questionnaire and the sexual quality of life-female questionnaire. Results: At the pre-intervention, one-month, and three-month post-intervention stages, there was a highly significant difference in the pain coping techniques, pain severity, and sexual life quality of the women who were evaluated. Conclusion: The continuous care model application was effective in reducing pelvic pain severity. This was accomplished by improving pain coping strategies, which resulted in an improvement in the sexual quality of life for women who experienced chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. The results supported the research hypotheses. Recommendations: Using the continuous care model as a standard nursing intervention to help women with chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis improve their sexual quality of life and pain coping strategies. | ||
