Yetişkin Bireylerde Vücut Farkındalığı, Yorgunluk ve Duyusal İşlemleme İlişkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Vücut farkındalığı, farkındalığın bedensel yönüdür ve bireyin vücut parçaları ve süreçleriyle ilgili bilinci ifade eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yetişkin bireylerde vücut farkındalığı, yorgunluk ve duyusal işlemleme ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Gereç Yöntem: Çalışma 18-45 yaş arası bireyler ile gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmada sosyo-demografik bilgi formu, Vücut Farkındalık (VFA) Anketi, Chalder Yorgunluk Ölçeği (CYÖ) ve Adolesan/Yetişkin Duyu Profili (AYDP) kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Çalışma yaş ortalaması 21,55±4,20 yıl olan 267 kadın ve 43’ü erkek birey ile tamamlandı. Bireylerin vücut farkındalığı, yorgunluk ve duyusal işlemleme profilleri arasındaki ilişkiye bakıldığında, VFA total puanı ile AYDP-düşük kayıt arasında negatif yönde zayıf düzeyde korelasyon (r=-0,208, p<0,001) belirlendi. VFA total puanı ve yorgunluk arasında ise istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı. Tartışma: Çalışmada vücut farkındalığı arttıkça duyusal düşük kayıt cevabının daha az gözlemlendiği belirlendi. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları vücut farkındalık temelli çalışmalarında duyusal işlemleme profil farklılıklarının da göz önüne alınması gerektiğine dikkat çekmektedir. Gelecek çalışmalarda herhangi bir hastalık tanısı olan bireylerde vücut farkındalığı, yorgunluk ve duyusal işlemleme ilişkisinin incelenmesi çalışmamızdan elde edilen bulguların genellenebilirliğini arttıracaktır.

Investigation of the Relationship between Body Awareness, Fatigue and Sensory Processing in Adults

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body awareness, fatigue and sensory processing in adults. Material and Methods: The study was carried out with individuals between the ages of 18-45. Socio-demographic information form, Body Awareness (VFA) questionnaire, Chalder Fatigue Scale (STS) and Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AFDP) were used in the study. Results: The study was completed with 267 female and 43 male individuals with a mean age of 21.55±4.20 years. When the relationship between individuals' body awareness, fatigue and sensory processing profiles was examined, a weak negative correlation (r=-0.208, p<0.001) was found between VFA total score and AFDP-low registration. There was no statistically significant relationship between VFA total score and fatigue. Discussion: In the study, it was determined that as body awareness increased, physical fatigue decreased, and sensory low registration and sensory avoidance were observed less. It was determined that sensory low recording was more pronounced with increasing fatigue. The results of this study draw attention to the fact that fatigue and personal sensory processing profile differences should be taken into account in body awareness-based studies.
