Amaç: Bu araştırma, diyabet tanısı alan kadınlarda AÜSS varlığı düzeyi ve bu durumun cinsel yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte gerçekleştirilen araştırmaya, Haziran-Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinin Kadın Doğum, Dahiliye ile Endokrinoloji polikliniğinde tedavisi devam eden 289 diyabet tanısı almış kadın dahil edildi. Veriler tanılama formu, Bristol Kadın Alt Üriner Sistem Semptomları İndeksi ve Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği-Kadın kullanılarak elde edildi. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metodlar, student t testi, tek yönlü Anova ve Pearson korelasyon analizi çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Diyabetli kadınların yaş ortalaması 38.31±9.85 (min=20, max=79) yıl olup; BKSSİ puan ortalaması 18.26±11.37 olup; alınabilecek puan aralığı göz önüne alındığında, kadınların AÜSS şiddetinin düşük olduğu bulundu. Kadınların yaş ve hastalık süresi arttıkça alt üriner sistem semptom şiddetinin de arttığı; okur-yazar, obez, diyabet dışında kronik hastalığı olan, beş ve üzeri doğum yapan ve menapoz döneminde olan kadınların alt üriner sistem semptom şiddetinin yüksek olduğu tespit edildi. Çalışmada, kadınların CYKÖ-K puan ortalamasının 56.45±17.10 olduğu ve cinsel yaşam kalitesi düzeyinin orta düzeyde olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Diyabeti kadınların alt üriner sistem semptom şiddeti arttıkça cinsel yaşam kalitesinin azaldığı ve alt üriner sistem semptom şiddetinin, cinsel yaşam kalitesinde toplam varyansın %13’ünü açıkladığı belirlendi.

Lower Urinary System Symptoms and Relationship with Sexual Quality of Life in Women with Diabetes
The study was carried out to determine the level of lower urinary system symptom severity and the relationship between symptom severity and sexual quality of life in women diagnosed with diabetes. In the descriptive and cross-sectional study, 426 women diagnosed with diabetes who were under treatment in the obstetrics, internal medicine and endocrinology outpatient clinic of a university hospital between June and December 2022 were included. Data were obtained using the diagnostic form, the Bristol Female Lower Urinary System Symptom Index (BFLUSSI), and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Female (SQLS-F). The mean BFLUSSI score of women with diabetes was 18.26±11.37, and lower urinary system symptom severity was found to be low. It was determined that the mean SQLS-F score of the women was 56.45±17.10 and the level of sexual life quality was moderate. It was found that there was a weak negative correlation between BFLUSSI and the mean scores of SQLS-F (r=-0.363; p<0.01); lower urinary tract symptom severity was found to explain 13% of the total variance in the quality of sexual life (R=0.193, R2=079, F=5.408, p<0.05). It was determined that as the lower urinary system symptom severity of diabetic women increased, the quality of sexual life decreased and the severity of lower urinary system symptoms was determinant on the quality of sexual life.
