Effect of Illness Perception on the Quality of Life in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the illness perception in patients with ankylosing spondilitis (AS), to evaluate disease activity, functional ability, emotional status and to investigate their association with quality of life (QoL).

Materials and Methods: Sixty-seven patients with AS were included in this study. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BAS­FI) were used for the assessment of disease activity and of physical functions, respectively. The Ankylosing Spondy­litis Quality of Life (ASQoL) questionnaire was used for disease-related quality of life and The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) was used for the assessment of illness perception in AS patients. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used for the assessment of psychological status.

Results: Based on our results, significant association was found between QoL and illness perceptions. However, QoL was most associated with functional status and disease activity.

Conclusion: Assessment of illness perception in routine clinical practice could contribute to a better understanding of problems in patients’ behavior that may disturb adherence to treatment. Psychotherapeutic approaches in addition to conventional therapy might attempt to improve patient’s QoL in AS.
