COMPARISON OF HOPELESSNESS LEVEL OF WOMEN WITH SHOULDER PAIN
Abstract
Materials and method: 60 volunteer women with an average age of 40.1 years participated in the study. Socioeconomic characteristics of the individuals were examined with the help of the form prepared by the researchers. Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) was used to determine the hopelessness level. Data were collected with face to face interview technique by a nurse in this prospective study.
Results: The average score of BHS in the study was 7.4 for the myofascial group and 3.8 for the traumatic group and the difference between groups was statistically significant (p=0.02).
Conclusion: There was a relationship between low education level, low income level, dissension between spouses, and the hopelessness in the myofascial group. It is important to evaluate the hopelessness level of women with myofascial shoulder pain. Because they may need social and psychological support in addition to medical treatment to overcome their complaints.
