Purpose:
This study was
conducted to investigate the relationship between fatigue and occupational
competence and fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.

Material
and Methods: The study
was carried out in Trakya University Hospital between February and June 2018
with 26 MS patients. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Fatigue Severity
Scale (FSS) and Occupational Self Assessment (OSA) applied to participants.

Results: Statistically significant relationship was found
between FSS and EDSS scores and OSA competence scores (p <.05). No
statistically significant relationship was found between FSS and EDSS scores
with OSA value scores (p> .05).

Discussion: In this study, it was found that perceived fatigue in
MS individuals is correlated with occupational competence. For this reason, we
think that it is important that health professions who are working in
occupational therapy field should make necessary evaluations about fatigue
levels of MS individuals and apply occupational therapy interventions.

Multipl Skleroz Hastalarında Algılanan Yorgunluğun Aktivite-Rol Yeterliliği ile İlişkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu
çalışma Multipl Skleroz (MS) hastalarında yorgunluk ile aktivite-rol
yeterliliği ve önemi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirildi.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma,
Trakya Üniversitesi Hastanesinde Şubat-Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında 26 MS
hastası ile gerçekleştirildi. Bireylere Genişletilmiş Özür Durum Anketi (EDSS),
Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği (FSS) ve Aktivite Öz-Değerlendirme Ölçeği (OSA) uygulandı.

Sonuçlar: FSS
ve EDSS puanları ile OSA yeterlilik puanı arasında anlamlı düzeyde
istatistiksel ilişki saptandı (p<.05). FSS ve EDSS puanları ile OSA önem
puanı arasında istatistiksel olarak ilişki saptanmadı (p>.05).

Tartışma:
Çalışmada MS’li bireylerde algılanan yorgunluk ile aktivite-rol yeterliliğinin
ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle ergoterapi alanında çalışmakta olan sağlık
elemanlarının MS’li bireylerin yorgunluk düzeyleri ile ilgili gerekli
değerlendirmeleri yaparken bireylerin aktivite-rol yeterliliği açısından da
değerlendirilmesinin de önemli olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
