Abstract

This study investigates the associations among disease duration, balance, anxiety, and depression in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), along with how these parameters correlate with quality of life. Sixty-three participants with a mean age of 45.65±11.04 years were included. Spearman correlation analysis assessed these correlations. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) measured anxiety and depression symptoms, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) assessed balance, and the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 Questionnaire (MSQOL-54) evaluated quality of life. A negative and significant relationship was found between participants' disease duration and balance (r =-0.362, p = 0.004). However, no significant relationships were observed between disease duration and anxiety, depression, and quality of life (p> 0.05). Negative correlations were identified between balance and anxiety (r =-0.330, p = 0.008) and between balance and depression (r =-0.311, p = 0.013). Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between balance and quality of life, while negative correlations were identified between quality of life and both anxiety and depression. Given that MS profoundly affects individuals, a holistic evaluation is crucial for a comprehensive understanding. Future studies are encouraged to adopt a holistic approach, incorporating assessments of cognitive states and exploring interrelationships between these parameters.

Multipl Sklerozlu Bireylerde Fiziksel ve Psikolojik Parametreler Arasındaki İlişkinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Multipl Skleroz (MS) hastalığına sahip bireylerde hastalık süresi, denge, anksiyete ve depresyon arasındaki ilişkileri, ayrıca bu parametrelerin yaşam kalitesi ile nasıl ilişkilendiğini araştırmaktadır. Ortalama yaşı 45.65±11.04 olan 63 katılımcı dahil edildi. Spearman korelasyon analizi bu ilişkileri değerlendirdi. Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği (HADS) anksiyete ve depresyon belirtilerini ölçerken, Berg Denge Ölçeği (BBS) dengeyi değerlendirdi ve Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 Anketi (MSQOL-54) yaşam kalitesini değerlendirdi. Katılımcıların hastalık süresi ile denge arasında negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (r =-0.362, p = 0.004). Ancak, hastalık süresi ile anksiyete, depresyon ve yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlemlenmedi (p> 0.05). Denge ile anksiyete (r =-0.330, p = 0.008) ve depresyon (r =-0.311, p = 0.013) arasında negatif korelasyonlar belirlendi. Ayrıca, denge ile yaşam kalitesi arasında pozitif bir korelasyon gözlemlendi, yaşam kalitesi ile anksiyete ve depresyon arasında ise negatif korelasyonlar belirlendi. MS'nin bireyleri derinden etkilediği göz önüne alındığında, kapsamlı bir anlayış için bütünsel bir değerlendirme önemlidir. Gelecekteki çalışmalar, bilişsel durumları değerlendiren ve bu parametreler arasındaki ilişkileri araştıran bütünsel bir yaklaşım benimsemeye teşvik edilmektedir.
