Amaç: Bu çalışma tip I ve tip II diyabetli hastalarda cinsiyetin ağrı, üst ekstremite fonksiyonları ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisini araştırmak amacıyla planlandı.
Yöntemler: Web tabanlı kesitsel bir araştırma olan bu çalışmaya tip I ve tip II diyabeti olan toplam 130 hasta dahil edildi. Çalışmada, kol, omuz ve el sorunları anketi, Michigan el sonuç anketi, üst ekstremite ağrı şiddetine yönelik sayısal derecelendirme ölçeği, nöropatik ağrı anketi-Kısa Form, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü yaşam kalitesi anketleri kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Kadınların Michigan el sonuç anketine ait ağrı alt ölçeğindeki puanları erkelere göre daha yüksekken (p = 0,006), fonksiyon alt ölçeğine ait puanları ise erkeklere göre daha düşüktü (p=0,037). Kol, omuz ve el sorunları anketi içerisinde bulunan çalışma alt ölçeği puanlarına bakıldığında ise kadınların işlev düzeyinin daha düşük olduğu belirlendi (p=0,016).
Sonuç: Diyabetin ağrı, üst ekstremite fonksiyonu ve genel sağlık açısından kadın ve erkekler üzerinde farklı etkileri olabilir. Kadınların ağrı ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonu açısından erkeklerden daha fazla etkilendiği görüşündeyiz.

Influence of gender on pain, upper extremity functions, and quality of life in individuals with diabetes

Öz

Purpose: This study was planned to investigate the effect of gender on pain, upper extremity functions and quality of life in patients with type I and type II diabetes.
Methods: A total of 130 patients with type I and type II diabetes were included in this study, which was a web-based cross-sectional study. In the study, arm, shoulder and hand problems questionnaire, Michigan hand outcome questionnaire, numerical rating scale for upper extremity pain severity, neuropathic pain questionnaire-Short Form, and World Health Organization quality of life questionnaires were used.
Results: While women's scores on the pain subscale of the Michigan hand outcome questionnaire were higher than men (p=0.006), the scores on the function subscale were lower (p=0.037). When the working subscale scores of the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire were examined, it was determined that the function level of women was lower (p=0.016).
Conclusion: Diabetes has a different impact on men and women in terms of pain, upper extremity function, and overall health. Women appear to be more affected than men in terms of pain and upper extremity function.
