Expressed emotion in fibromyalgia: Contribution of spouses' attitude and patients' perception to clinical presentation of fibromyalgia

Amaç: Fibromyalji'li hastaların (FS) ortaya koydukları psikosomatik semptomlar; içe kapanıklık, duygusal ihtiyaçlarını yansıtmada yetersizlik, öz güven eksikliği ve sosyal ilişkilerde yetersizliği içermektedir. Hastalar ve eşlerinin duygu ifadelerinin arasındaki ilişkiyi FS'nin şiddetine göre değerlendiren ölçekler bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı FS'li hastanın duygu durumunun ve onun eşinin tutumunun hastalığın kliniği üzerine etkisini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: çalışmaya 123 hasta ve 105 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, fibromyalji etki anketi (FIQ), Montgomery-Asberg Depresyon Ölçeği (MADRAS), ve duygu ifadesi seviyesi (LEE) ve duygu ifadesi (EE) kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular: FS'deki LEE sağlıklı kontrollere kıyasla oldukça yüksekti [15 vs. 11 ; p0.05). Sonuç: bu çalışmanın bulguları, FS'nin tedavisi esnasında hastalar ve onların eşleri açısından EE'nin ölçme açısından değerli olduğunu desteklemektedir. FS hastalarında psikolojik fonksiyonları iyileştirmek için, klinik uygulamada, eşlerin rolünü değerlendirmeye almak önemli bir avantajdır ve FS'nin tedavi başarısını arttırır.

Fibromyalji'de duygu ifadesi: fibromyalji kliniğine, eşlerin tutumunun ve hastanın algısının katkısı

Objective: Psychopathological symptoms presented by fibromyalgia patients include introversion, inability to reflect emotional needs, lack self-esteem, and inefficiency in social relationships. There are measures to assess the relationship of the expressed emotion of patients and spouses with severity of fibromyalgia syndrome (FS). The aim of this study to assess the effect of expressed emotion of patient (LEE) and her spouse (EE) on the severity of FS in women. Method: 123 FS patients and 105 healthy controls enrolled for the study. In the study, fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ), Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRAS), and level of expressed emotion (LEE) and expressed emotion (EE) were recorded. Results: LEE in FS was significantly higher than that in healthy controls [15 vs. 11 ; p0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study support the value of assessment of EE from the perspective of patients and their spouses during the management of FS. To improve the psychological function of FS patients, in clinical practice, considering the role of spouses may provide an important advantage and increase the success of management of FS.
