The study is descriptive and correlational. The data were collected from 111 male patients residing in a province of Türkiye between August-October 2024 who will undergo urologic surgery through Google form. The data were collected using the “Personal Information Form”, “WHO-5 Well-Being Index”, “Men-Specific Body Attitude Scale” and “New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short Form”. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation test, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. It was determined that body attitudes of male patients who will undergo urologic surgery also affect their psychological well-being and sexual satisfaction.
