Depression, Anxiety, Stress Perception and Coping Strategy in Male Sexual Dysfunctional Patients

Thirtyone male sexual dysfunctional patients were selected to investigate their depression, anxiety, stress perception, and coping strategy. They were examined by Beck’s Depression Inventory, State- Trait Anxiety Inventory, Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, Global Assessment of Recent Stress Scale and Coping Strategy. Twentyseven healthy normal adults were selected as control group. The results were as follows： 1) Depression and anxiety scores were significantly higher in the patients. 2) Stress perception of usual life, especially work, job and change in relationships, was significantly higher in the patients. Frequency of negative life events was significantly higher in the patients. 3) As coping strategy, intellectualisation, redefinition and compliance were most frequently used by the patients. Most of the patients showed tendency to deny their vulnerabilities. Patients who lived with spouse showed more active confrontation and less emotional turmoil, anxiety and fear than patients who lived without spouse.
