Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Women's Health
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Recurring cystitis (RC) significantly impacts women's quality of life, causing physical and psychological distress.
  • Information and support needs for women experiencing RC are underexplored, particularly in France.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess women's needs and expectations regarding recurring cystitis.
  • To inform the development of a patient information leaflet for better self-management and empowerment.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing recorded semistructured interviews.
  • 26 women diagnosed with RC in Corsica, France, were interviewed.

Main Results:

  • Women reported significant daily life impacts, anxiety, and a preference for non-antibiotic approaches.
  • Patients expressed a need for greater physician understanding, autonomy in management (e.g., delayed prescriptions), and multidisciplinary care.

Conclusions:

  • An information leaflet can enhance patient knowledge and self-care capacity for recurring cystitis.
  • Improved patient education may standardize care and reduce inappropriate antibiotic use.
