Is There a Relationship Between Perceived Activity Performance-Satisfaction Level and Quality of Life in Activities of Daily Living in Adults with Plantar Fasciitis?

Abstract

Aim: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a disease that negatively affects quality of life (QOL) and activities of daily living and is the most common cause of heel pain. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between QOL, perceived activity performance and satisfaction in adults with PF and to determine the activities that have problems in daily living. Materials and Methods: A total of 96 participants, 26 male and 70 female, aged between 18-65 years, with a mean age of 53.88±6.41 years diagnosed with PF completed the study. The Nottingham Health Profile was used to determine the QOL, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used to determine the perceived activity performance and satisfaction level. Results: The findings show the perceived activity performance and satisfaction levels of individuals with PF are negatively related to pain and energy levels, which are sub-dimensions of QOL (p=0.001; p=0.017; p=0.001; p=0.018). Moreover, it has been determined individuals have problems in many activities, such as walking, working, going up and down stairs, housecleaning and sleeping. Conclusion: This study showed the QOL of individuals with PF decreases as activity performance and satisfaction level decrease. Pain is one of the most important factors affecting activity performance, and recurrent and increasing pain with activity may have limited activity participation in individuals with PF. Therefore, pain should be considered as a priority in the evaluation and intervention plans of individuals with PF. Also, activity-based intervention plans should be developed for activities where these individuals have problems in daily living.

Plantar Fasiitli Erişkinlerde Günlük Yaşam Aktivitelerinde Algılanan Aktivite Performansı-Memnuniyet Düzeyi ve Yaşam Kalitesi Arasında İlişki Var mı?

Abstract

Amaç: Plantar fasiit (PF), yaşam kalitesini ve günlük yaşam aktivitelerini olumsuz etkileyen bir hastalıktır ve topuk ağrısının en sık nedenidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, plantar fasiitli erişkinlerde yaşam kalitesi (YK), algılanan aktivite performansı ve memnuniyeti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek ve bireylerin günlük yaşamda sorun yaşadığı aktiviteleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmayı 18-65 yaş arası, yaş ortalaması 53,88±6,41 yıl olan, PF tanılı 26 erkek, 70 kadın katılımcı olmak üzere 96 kişi tamamladı. Katılımcıların YK düzeyini belirlemek için Nottingham Sağlık Profili, algılanan aktivite performansı ve memnuniyet düzeyini belirlemek için Kanada Aktivite Performans Ölçümü kullanıldı. Bulgular: Bulgular, plantar fasiitli bireylerin algılanan aktivite performansı ve memnuniyet düzeylerinin yaşam kalitesinin alt boyutları olan ağrı düzeyleri ve enerji düzeyleri ile negatif ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir (p=0,001; p=0,017; p=0,001; p=0,018). Ayrıca bireylerin yürüme, çalışma, merdiven inip çıkma, ev temizleme ve uyuma gibi birçok aktivitede sorun yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, plantar fasiitli bireylerin aktivite performans ve memnuniyet düzeyi azaldıkça yaşam kalitelerinin düştüğünü göstermiştir. Ağrı, aktivite performansını erkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biridir ve plantar fasiitli bireylerde aktivite ile tekrarlayan ve artan ağrı, bireylerin aktivite katılımını kısıtlamış olabilir. Bu nedenle ağrı, plantar fasiitli bireylerin değerlendirme ve müdahale planlarında öncelikli olarak dikkate alınmalıdır. Ayrıca bu bireylerin günlük yaşamda sorun yaşadığı aktivitelere yönelik aktivite-temelli müdahale planları geliştirilmelidir.
