“…However, it was observed that body image concerns were significantly higher in the group that had sexual dysfunction compared to the group that did not. This finding was evaluated as supportive of the study by Çaynak et al (28), which showed that body image had a significant effect on sexual life.…”

Aim: Discomfort with body shape is common among individuals with obesity and has effects on their sexual life. We aimed to investigate the effects of bariatric surgery on the body satisfaction and sexual life of women in this study. Material and Method: The study consisted of 63 female patients who were aged between 20 and 55. Pre-operative psychiatric evaluations of the candidates were conducted and Hamilton Anxiety Scale , Hamilton Depression Scale, Arizona Sexual Experiences Questionnaire and Body Shape Questionnaire were used. Psychiatric evaluations of the patients were re-evaluated in the first year after surgery. Results: The mean age was 35.4±8.6 years. While 87.3% of the participants had moderate-severe anxiety about the appearance of their bodies before the operation, 57.1% described problems in their sexual life. After the operation, 63.5% of the participants stated that they did not have any concerns about their body appearance, and 73% stated that they did not have any problems in their sexual life. The BSQ-34 scale score was found to be higher in those with an Arizona score of 11 and above before the operation (p=0.045; p

“…Çaynak et al’s study, investigating the effects of body perception and sexual desires of bariatric surgery patients on obese individuals referred for bariatric surgery, indicated that BMI, height, and weight were not significantly related to sexual self-concept [ 28 ]. The result of this study is consistent with the current study.…”

Background Obesity leads to increased disease burden, decreased life expectancy, and disrupted sexual life. One of the most effective ways of obesity treatment is bariatric surgery. This study was conducted aiming to determine and compare sexual self-concept in women with obesity pre- and post-bariatric surgery. Method A longitudinal study comparing sexual self-concept pre and post- surgery was conducted on women with obesity referring to obesity clinics in the city of Tehran in 2020–2021. Data collection was performed using Snell’s Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire (MSSCQ), which was completed online. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 statistical software and Fisher’s exact test, chi-square, Mann-Whitney, independent t, and logistic and linear regression tests. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results According to the findings, the mean (standard deviation) score of sexual self-concept was 240.26 (26.82) in the post-surgery group and 200.26 (32.24) in the pre-surgery group (P = 0.001), and the highest mean (standard deviation) score of sexual self-concept both in the pre-surgery group (13.06 [4.00]) and in the post-surgery group (15.46 [2.16]) was related to the area of sexual depression (P = 0.05). Also, with increasing educational level, the odds of bariatric surgery increased by 33%, and those who had no private bedroom had lower odds of bariatric surgery by 65%. In those who did not have other individuals living in their house and their spouse was not a smoker, the self-concept score was 52.35 and 23.11 units higher. Conclusion In general, bariatric surgery can improve sexual self-care. Considering the issue of sexual self-concept in bariatric surgery, it is recommended to design appropriate counseling and planning before surgery according to the culture of each country.

“…This deserves further scrutiny, as some issues related to these scales are clearly relevant to patients undergoing BS. 34,35 The NF was originally developed for patients receiving mental health treatment. Therefore, the high floor effects are likely a result of the population of patients undergoing BS having different characteristics and needs in treatment.…”

The Norse Feedback in a population of patients undergoing bariatric surgery—Psychometric properties of a digital computer‐adaptive questionnaire assessing mental health

et al. 2021

The Norse Feedback (NF) is a questionnaire developed for patient-reported outcome monitoring with a clinical feedback system (PRO/CFS). As mental health is a concern after bariatric surgery, the use of the NF as part of PRO/CFS may be beneficial. The aim of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the NF in patients who have been accepted for or have undergone bariatric surgery. We performed separate robust confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) to test the unidimensionality on 19 of the NF scales. We also performed correlation analyses on 19 of the NF scales with the Obesity-related Problems scale (OP). We included 213 patients. In the CFA analyses, three out of 12 scales with four or more items showed satisfactory psychometric properties in all goodness of fit indices (Suicidality, Need for Control and Self-Criticism).Four scales showed satisfactory psychometric properties in all indices but RMSEA (Somatic Anxiety, Substance Use, Social Safety and Cognitive Problems). Several of the scales demonstrated floor effects. In the correlation analyses, 18 of the 19 scales showed small-to-moderate correlation coefficients with the OP. Our demonstration of satisfactory psychometric properties on several important scales of the NF suggests that this tool may prove valuable in the routine follow-up of mental health in this population. However, further work is needed to innovate the NF for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.bariatric surgery, clinical feedback system, mental health, patient-reported outcome measures | BACKGROUNDFollowing bariatric surgery, the majority of patients experience sustainable weight loss and significant improvements to physical impairment, obesity-related comorbidities and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). [1][2][3][4][5] Furthermore, up to 80% of patients have reported being satisfied with their overall treatment satisfaction 5 years after surgery. 6 Although bariatric surgery is followed by positive outcomes for most patients, a cohort study of almost 25 000 patients who had undergone bariatric surgery in Australia found an increase in psychiatric illness presentations after surgery, as well as increased occurrences of deliberate self-harm and suicidal deaths. 7 These findings are supported
