Abstract

Osteoporoz (OP), kemik yoğunluğunun azalması, kemik mikroyapısının bozulması ve kırık riskinin artmasıyla karakterize ilerleyici metabolik bir kemik hastalığıdır. Bu çalışma, osteoporoz tanısı almış postmenopozal kadınlarda ağrı düzeyi, uyku kalitesi ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışmaya, osteoporoz tanılı 38 postmenopozal kadın dahil edilmiştir. Lomber vertebralar (L1–L4), femur boynu ve total femur için Kemik Mineral Yoğunluğu (KMY) ve T-skorları DEXA yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür. Katılımcıların yaş, eğitim durumu, medeni hali gibi demografik verileri ile klinik öyküleri kaydedilmiştir. Yaşam kalitesi QUALEFFO-41 anketi ile, uyku kalitesi Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) ile ve ağrı düzeyi Görsel Analog Skala (VAS) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 59,13 ± 10,24 yıldır. Katılımcıların 22’sinde kötü uyku kalitesi (PUKİ < 5), 16’sında ise iyi uyku kalitesi (PUKİ ≥ 5) saptanmıştır. PUKİ skoru ile QUALEFFO-41 parametrelerinden Ruh Hali alt boyutu arasında anlamlı negatif korelasyon (r=-0.411, p=0.010) saptandı. VAS skoru ile QUALEFFO-41 parametrelerinden Ağrı alt boyutu (r=0.688, p<0.001) ve Fiziksel Aktivite alt boyutu (r=0.343, p=0.035) arasında anlamlı pozitif korelasyon saptandı. Postmenopozal osteoporozlu kadınlarda hem ağrı hem de kötü uyku kalitesi yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu faktörlerin klinik yönetimde dikkate alınması, tedavi sonuçlarını ve hasta iyilik halini artırabilir.

The Impact of Pain Intensity and Sleep Quality on Quality of Life in Patients with Osteoporosis

Abstract

Osteoporosis (OP) is a progressive metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone density, impaired bone microarchitecture, and increased fracture risk. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pain intensity, sleep quality, and quality of life in postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis. A total of 38 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were included in the study. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and T-scores of the lumbar vertebrae (L1–L4), femoral neck, and total femur were measured using the DEXA method. Demographic data such as age, educational status, and marital status, as well as clinical history, were recorded. Quality of life was assessed using the QUALEFFO-41 questionnaire, sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and pain intensity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The mean age of participants was 59.13 ± 10.24 years. Poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 5) was observed in 22 participants, while good sleep quality (PSQI < 5) was found in 16 participants. A significant negative correlation was identified between PSQI score and the Mood subscale of QUALEFFO-41 (r = -0.411, p = 0.010). Significant positive correlations were found between VAS score and the Pain (r = 0.688, p < 0.001) and Physical Activity (r = 0.343, p = 0.035) subscales of QUALEFFO-41. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, both pain and poor sleep quality negatively affect quality of life. Considering these factors in clinical management may improve treatment outcomes and patient well-being.
