 Research: My research explores the multifaceted impact of Endometriosis on women, examining the complex interplay between pain, emotional distress, and executive functions, and their collective influence on quality of life. By integrating occupational therapy and gynecological perspectives, it aims to uncover the mediating roles of executive functions and self-efficacy in coping with this condition and its symptoms. This holistic approach seeks to develop innovative, multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies to enhance daily functioning and improve the quality of life for women dealing with Endometriosis.
