Abstract

Amaç: Literatürde fibromiyaljili hastalarda dindarlık, bağışlayıcılık ve psikolojik dayanıklılığın etkileri çeşitli açılardan araştırılmıştır. Ancak fibromiyalji semptomları olan hastalarda bu kavramların etkilerini toplu olarak araştıran bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dini inanç, bağışlayıcılık ve psikolojik dayanıklılığın fibromiyalji semptom yükü ile ilişkisi olup olmadığını araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışmaya, 15 Aralık 2019 ile 15 Nisan 2020 tarihleri arasında bir Üniversite Hastanesi Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü polikliniğine başvuran fibromiyalji sendromu (FMS) tanısı ile başvuran yaşları 18-65 arasında değişen 49 hasta dahil edildi.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmada toplam 49 kadın hasta vardı. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 45.04 ± 9.25 yıl idi. Dindarlık, psikolojik dayanıklılığın bazı alt boyutlarıyla anlamlı olarak ilişkili bulundu. Ek olarak, psikolojik dayanıklılığın çoğu alt ölçeği, fibromiyaljinin şiddeti ile önemli ölçüde ilişkiliydi. Dini inanç düzeyi, psikolojik dayanıklılık ile fibromiyaljinin şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi etkilemiştir.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada dini inanç ve bağışlama düzeylerinin fibromiyalji semptomları üzerinde doğrudan etkisinin olmadığı bulunmuştur. Psikolojik dayanıklılığın alt ölçeklerinin çoğunun fibromiyalji semptomlarının şiddeti ile ilişkili olduğu bulundu. Psikolojik dayanıklılığın fibromiyalji semptomlarının şiddeti üzerinde bir etkisi olduğu açıktır, ancak mekanizmaları değerlendirmek için ileri araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

The Effects of Religious Belief Level and Psychological Resilience on the Severity of Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Abstract

Objective: The effects of religiousness, forgiveness, and psychological resilience in patients with fibromyalgia have been investigated with regard to various aspects in the literature. However, there is no study investigating the effects of these concepts collectively in patients with fibromyalgia symptoms.The aim of this study was to investigate whether religious belief, forgiving nature and psychological resilience had any relationship with fibromyalgia symptom burden.
Methods: This descriptive study included 49 patients aged between 18–65 years with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) who had applied to the out-patient clinic of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department of a University Hospital between 15 December 2019 and 15 April 2020.
Results: There were a total of 49 female patients in this study. The mean age of the patients participating in the study was 45.04 ± 9.25 years. Religiousness was found to be significantly associated with some subscales of psychological resilience. Additionally, most subscales of psychological resilience were significantly related with the severity of fibromyalgia. The level of religious belief influenced the relationship between psychological resilience and the severity of fibromyalgia.
Conclusion: In this study, it has been found that religious belief and forgiveness levels did not have a direct effect on fibromyalgia symptoms. Most of the subscales of psychological resilience were found to be associated with the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms. It is clear that psychological resilience has an effect on the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms, but further research is needed to assess mechanisms.
