Abstract

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-malignant condition of the prostate, increases morbidity, and declining quality of life among geriatric patients. Study aim: to assess quality of life and benign prostatic hyperplasia-related symptoms among geriatric patients. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used. Settings: Assiut University, urology hospital, out-patient clinics. Sample: EPI information was utilized to assess the sample size [140 geriatric patients] with a 95%confidence interval and a margin of error of 5%. Study tools: 3 tools were utilized. Tool (I): socio-demographic structured interview schedule, Tool (II): International prostate symptom score. Tool (III): Quality of Life Scale for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The results: The present study revealed that 84.0% of the studied geriatrics had low levels of quality of life. There was a statistically significant difference between the age group of the studied sample and their quality of life P = 0.006, and there was a statistical relation between the international prostate symptoms score of the study group and their quality of life P = 0.000. Conclusion: Age negatively affects on benign prostatic hyperplasia related symptoms and quality of life among geriatrics. The highest symptom severity was observed in patients aged more than 70 years.
