Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’nde yaşayan ankilozan spondilitli hastaların biyopsikososyal özellikleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi: pilot çalışma

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’nde yaşayan ankilozan spondilitli hastaların biyopsikososyal özellikleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesiydi. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza AS tanısı alan, yaş ortalaması 44,4±11,7 yıl olan 30 hasta (11 kadın, 19 erkek) dahil edildi. Bireylerin biyopsikososyal gereksinimlerini belirlemek için fonksiyonel ve psikososyal değerlendirmeler kullanıldı. Yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için Ankilozan Spondilit Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (ASQOL), fiziksel durumlarını belirlemek için Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Hastalık Aktivitesi İndeksi (BASDAI), Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Fonksiyonel İndeksi (BASFI), Yorgunluğun Çok Boyutlu Değerlendirilmesi (MAF), Yorgunluk Şiddet Skalası (FSS), Pitsburg Uyku Skalası (PUKİ), emosyonel durumlarını değerlendirmek için Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği (HADS) ve Tampa Kinezyofobi Skalası (TKS) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların ASQoL ile BASDAI, MAF ve FSS arasında kuvvetli, ASQoL ile BASFI arasında orta dereceli, PUKI ile arasında zayıf korelasyon bulundu. Ayrıca ASQoL ile HADS ve TKS arasında orta dereceli korelasyon olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’nde yaşayan ankilozan spondilitli bireylerde yaşam kalitesinden uyku kalitesine, kinezyofobiden yorgunluğa, hastalık aktivitesinden duygu durum özelliklerine kadar pek çok problemin birbirleriyle ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. AS hastalarının tedavilerinin bu biyopsikososyal özellikleri kapsayacak şekilde planlanması gerektiği görüşüne varıldı.

Investigation of correlation of biyopsychosocial characteristics in individuals with ankylosing spondylitis living in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus: a pilot study

Purpose: Purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the biopsychosocial characteristics of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) living in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Method: Thirty patients (11 women, 19 men) with a mean age of 44.4±11.7 years, who received AS diagnosis were included in the study. Functional and psychosocial evaluations were used to determine the biyopsychosocial needs of the individuals. The quality of life was assessed using Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), physical state was assessed using Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), emotional state was assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS). Results: Patients’ ASQoL score had a strong correlation with BASDAI, MAF, and FSS. There were moderate correlation with BASFI and weak correlation with PUKI. There were also a moderate correlation between ASQoL and HADS, and between ASQoL and TKS. Conclusion: In AS patients living in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, many problems are related to each other, ranging from quality of life to quality of sleep, from kinesiofobia to fatigue, from disease activity to mood states. It was concluded that the treatments of AS patients should be planned to cover these biopsychosocial features.
