Abstract
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 420 women. The data were collected by using the "Descriptive Information Form", "SF-36 Quality of Life Scale (QoLS)" and "State Anxiety Inventory (SAI)". The data were evaluated with Mann-Whitney U-test, Student's t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Endometriosis had been diagnosed in 12.1% of the women. The score medians obtained by the women with endometriosis from the pain and physical role difficulty sub-dimensions of the QoLS were found to be significantly lower than those obtained by women without endometriosis. The presence of endometriosis was found not to affect the state anxiety in the women. A weak or moderately significant negative relationship was found between the number and onset time of the symptoms and certain sub-dimensions of the QoLS in the women with endometriosis.
