Resumo(s)
Introduction: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by
significant pain leading to a diminished quality of life (QoL). This study investigated the
extent to which body image mediates the relationship between pain perception and
QoL.
Methods: A total of 106 women (mean age=33.54 years, SD=7.43) participated in this
cross-sectional study.
Results: The results indicated that both pain perception and body image significantly
influenced QoL. Mediation analysis revealed that higher pain perception was associated
with increased body dissatisfaction, which, in turn, contributed to poorer QoL.
Discussion: These findings highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to
endometriosis management.
