Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kahramanmaraş merkezli deprem sonrası depremzedelerin anksiyete durumunun uyku problemleri, bel ve boyun ağrısı ile ilişkisini incelemektir.
Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmaya Kahramanmaraş merkezli depremi yaşayan, yaş ortalaması 27.9±9.1 olan bireyler dahil edildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen bireyler Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ), Oswestry Engellilik Anketi (OEA), Boyun Özürlülük Sorgulama Anketi (BÖSA), Pittsburgh Uyku Kalite İndeksi (PUKİ) ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların %67’sinin hafif, orta ve ağır düzeyde anksiyetesinin olduğu, tamamında ise uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğu bulundu (6.9±3.8). Katılımcılardan kendi evinde barınanların %57’sinin Pittsburgh Uyku Kalite İndeksi skor ortalama değerleri 5 ve üzeri iken, kendi evi dışında barınanlarda bu oran %75’di. Kendi evinde barınanların %27'si, kendi evi dışında barınanların %37’si, OEA skor yüzdeleri %20 üstü olan bireylerdi. BAÖ skoru ile OEA skoru, BÖSA skoru ve PUKİ skoru arasında istatistiksel olarak orta düzeyde ilişki olduğu bulundu (sırasıyla r=0.511, r=0.604, r=0.539).
Sonuç: Deprem sonrası anksiyetenin, uyku problemleri, bel ve boyun ağrısı ile ilişkili olduğu bulundu. Depremzedelere uygulanacak olan destek yaklaşımlarında, anksiyete varlığı, uyku problemleri, bel ve boyun ağrısı arasındaki ilişki göz önünde bulundurarak, bu parametreleri kapsayıcı yaklaşımların planlanması gerektiği ifade edilebilir.

The Relationship Between Post-Earthquake Anxiety Status with Sleep Problems, Low Back and Neck Pain in Victims of the Kahramanmaraş-Centred Earthquakes

Abstract

Background: This study aims to examine the relationship between the post-earthquake anxiety status of victims of the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake and sleep problems, low back and neck pain.
Materials and Methods: Individuals with a mean age of 27.9±9.1 years who experienced the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake were included in the study. The individuals included in the study was evaluated with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Results: Of the participants, 67% were determined to have mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, and all of them had poor sleep quality (6.9±3.8). While the mean PSQI score of 57% of the participants sheltered in their own homes was 5 and above, this rate was 75% for those sheltered outside their homes. Of the individuals sheltered in their own homes, 27% and 37% of those sheltered outside their own homes had the ODI score percentages above 20%. A statistically moderate correlation was determined between the BAI score and the ODI score, the NDI score, and the PSQI score (r=0.511, r=0.604, r=0.539, respectively).
Conclusions: Post-earthquake anxiety was revealed to be associated with sleep problems and low back and neck pain. Considering the relationship between the presence of anxiety, sleep problems, low back and neck pain in the support approaches to be adopted toward earthquake victims, approaches involving these parameters should be planned.
