Abstract

Objective: Stress and anxiety are the most frequent triggers of headaches. Personality traits and coping strategies can affect the human stress response. Some studies demonstrated that certain personality traits may predispose to headaches and headache patients have less effective and more passive coping strategies. The present study aimed to examine coping strategies and personality types in women with migraine and tension type headache (TTH). Methods: Participants were composed of 45 patients with migraine, 45 patients with TTH, and 42 healthy controls. Visual analogue scale (VAS), The COPE scale, Eysenck personality questionnaire Revised/Abbreviated Form (EPQR-A), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered to the participants. Results: We found that patients with migraine and tension-type headache had higher levels of anxiety and depression than those of individuals without headache. Also, these patients had higher neuroticism scores than that of control subjects. Migraine patients scored lower for the use of instrumental social support subscale and higher for the religious coping subscale as determined by the COPE. Subjects with tension-type headaches showed lower on the active copingsubscale. Conclusion: This study shows that patients with migraine and TTH had maladaptive and ineffective coping responses, and more neurotic personality features, when compared with healthy subjects. These factors may playa significant role in the development of headaches and their severity.

Abstract

Amaç: Stres ve anksiyete baş ağrılarının en sık tetikleyicileridir. Kişilik özellikleri ve başa çıkma yöntemleri bireylerin strese verdiği yanıtı etkiler. Yapılan çalışmalarda kaygılı ve depresif kişilik özelliklerinin başağrısına yatkınlık oluşturabileceğini, başağrısı olan hastaların işlevsel olmayan başa çıkma yöntemlerini daha sık kullandıklarını göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada migren ve gerilim tipi başağrısı olan bayan hastalarda başa çıkma yöntemlerinin ve kişilik özelliklerinin incelenmesini amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 45 migren, 45 gerilim tipi baş ağrısı olmak üzere toplam 90 hasta ve 42 sağlıklı gönüllü alınmıştır. Katılımcılara Görsel Analog Skala, Başa Çıkma Tutumlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği (COPE), Eysenck kişilik anket / Revize Kısaltılmış Formu, Beck Depresyon Ölçeğive Beck Anksiyete ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Migren ve gerilim tipi baş ağrısı olan hastalarda sağlıklı bireylere kıyasla anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu bulundu. Ayrıca, bu hastaların kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek nörotizm puanlarına sahip olduğu tespit edildi. Migren hastalarında COPE alt ölçeklerinden yararlı sosyal destek kullanımı puanlarının kontrol grubuna kıyasla daha düşük, dini olarak başa çıkma düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu bulundu. Gerilim tipi baş ağrısı olan hastalarda ise aktif başa çıkma puanlarının kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar migren ve gerilim tipi baş ağrısı olan hastaların sağlıklı bireylerle karşılaştırıldığında aktif başa çıkma yöntemleri daha az kullandıklarını, daha fazla nevrotik kişilik özelliklerine sahip olduklarını, ayrıca daha yüksek depresyon ve anksiyete düzeylerine sahip olduklarını göstermektedir. Sözkonusu etkenler başağrılarının başlamasında, tetiklenmesinde ve şiddetinde önem taşıyabilir.
