Association between postoperative urinary incontinence severity and anxiety in patients with prostate cancer: A chain mediation analysis of ehealth literacy and pelvic floor muscle training adherence
Urinary incontinence severity one month after prostate cancer surgery is a significant predictor of anxiety, exerting both direct and indirect effects. eHealth literacy and PFMT adherence function as important psychological and behavioral mediators, together explaining 34.6% of the total effect. Interventions aimed at enhancing eHealth literacy and promoting structured pelvic floor muscle training may help reduce postoperative anxiety and support recovery in this population.
