Mindfulness-based stress reduction for sexual psychological recovery after radical cervical cancer surgery: A retrospective study

Figure 5 Independent predictors of sexual psychological adaptation after cervical cancer surgery. The forest plot reveals mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention as the strongest independent predictor of improved sexual psychological adaptation [odds ratio (OR) = 2.86, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.75-4.68, P < 0.001], followed by partner support (OR = 1.92, 95%CI: 1.28-2.87, P = 0.002). While advancing age slightly reduces adaptation potential (OR = 0.93), menopausal status shows a modest positive association (OR = 1.53); other clinical factors including surgical approach, FIGO stage, and adjuvant therapy demonstrate non-significant effects, highlighting the primacy of psychological interventions and relational support over strictly medical factors in facilitating sexual recovery. MBSR: Mindfulness-based stress reduction; OR: Odds ratio; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval.
