Quality of Life, Sleep Disorders and Psychological Conditions of Partners of Female Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Öz
Objectives:To investigate and compare scores of quality of life(QoL),sleep disturbances,and psychological status between the partners of female patients with fibromyalgia syndrome(FMS) and those of healthy controls.
Materials and Methods:The study included partners of 100 female FMS patients under the 1990 criteria of the American Rheumatism Association(ACR) and partners of 100 female healthy controls.The partners of FMS patients and controls were investigated through Beck Depression Inventory(BDI),Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI),Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Sensitive Point Number(SPN), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), and Short Form-36 (SF-36).
Results:There was a statistically significant difference between partners of patients and controls concerning average scores of VAS, HNS, BDI, BAI, and PSQI (p <0.001).Averages of SF-36 subscores and scores of FMS patients’ partners were statistically significant (p <0.001), and averages of total PSQI scores of FMS patients’ partners were also statistically higher than those of controls (p <0.001).
Conclusions:In the study, frequencies of impairment in QoL, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders were increased among partners of FMS patients, compared with those of the controls.Additionally, scores of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders were found to increase levels of pain and fatigue in FMS patients’ partners.These findings suggest that partners of female patients with FMS should also be evaluated together with patients.
