Post-Prostatectomy Sexual Rehabilitation Survey of 1,615 Men in China

Comprising cross-sectional survey results from 1,615 men following radical prostatectomy at a tertiary urology center in China from March 2023 through June 2025. It examines the statistical association between health literacy tertiles and outcomes including treatment utilization, adherence rates, and reported barriers.

Use Cases

• Analyze the statistical association between health literacy tertiles and PDE5 inhibitor use or injection therapy utilization.
• Model the relationship between health literacy and treatment adherence rates ≥80% using logistic regression.
• Investigate how treatment barriers like side effect concerns, embarrassment, and cost vary across health literacy groups.
• Examine the correlation between health literacy and information-seeking behaviors such as active health information seeking and digital resource use.
• Apply latent class modeling to identify high-risk participant classes for targeted intervention based on survey responses.

Strengths

• Survey includes 1,615 participants, stratified into three equal health literacy tertiles (low n=538, moderate n=539, high n=538).
• Data collection used a validated instrument (HLS19-Q12) and includes partner-reported items where available.
• Analysis employed multiple statistical methods including hierarchical logistic regression, mediation analysis, and latent class modeling.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single-center, cross-sectional study, limiting generalizability and preventing causal inference.
• The small file size (15.6 KB) suggests the provided data is likely a summary table, not the full raw survey responses.
• Findings are specific to a Chinese population following radical prostatectomy, which may not translate to other demographics or clinical contexts.
