Abstract

This descriptive correlational study aimed to examine the relationship among lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), symptom management, and psychological well-being (PWB) in older adults with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The study was conducted on 130 older adults who were follow-up at a university hospital located in Bangkok and met the inclusion criteria as follows: being 60 to 84 years of age; being diagnosed with BPH; and being cognitively intact. Data were obtained using The Demographic Data and Health Information Questionnaire; The Thai Version of The International Prostate Symptom Score; The Urinary Symptom Management Inventory; and The Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Results revealed that The LUTS had a low negative relationship with PWB, and urinary symptom management had a low positive relationship with PWB (r s = -.22, p < .05; r s = .20, p < .05, respectively).
