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

Öz:

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the illness perception in patients with ankylosingspondilitis (AS), to evaluate disease activity, functional ability, emotional status and to investigate theirassociation with quality of life (QoL).Materials and Methods: Sixty‐seven patients with AS were included in this study. The Bath AnkylosingSpondylitis 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 AnkylosingSpondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) questionnaire was used for disease‐related quality of life and TheBrief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B‐IPQ) was used for the assessment of illness perception in ASpatients. 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 betterunderstanding of problems in patients’ behavior that may disturb adherence to treatment.Psychotherapeutic approaches in addition to conventional therapy might attempt to improve patient’sQoL in AS.

Ankilozan Spondilitte Hastalık Algısının Yaşam Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi

Öz:

Amaç: Ankilozan Spondilit (AS), karakteristik olarak sakroiliak eklemleri, omurga ve periferik eklemleri, bağırsakları ve gözleri etkileyebilen, kronik, inflamatuvar romatizmal ilerleyici bir hastalıktır. AS'nin klinik bulguları iyi bilinmekte ancak hastalığın, etkilenen kişinin subjektif sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri yeterince bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Ankilozan Sondilitli (AS) hastalarda hastalık algısını, hastalık aktivitesini, fonksiyonel ve emosyonel durumunu ve bunların hastalık aktivitesi ile ilişkisini değerlendirmektir. Materyal ve Metot: Altmışyedi AS’li hasta çalışmaya katıldı. Hastalıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi Ankilozan Spondilit Yaşam Kalitesi İndeksi (ASQoL) ve hastalık algısı Kısa Hastalık Algı Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Hastalık aktivitesi ve fonksiyonel kapasitesi, Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi (BASDAI), Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Fonksiyonel İndeksi (BASFI) ile değerlendirildi. Psikolojik durumun değerlendirmesinde Beck Depresyon Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Sonuçlarımıza göre, hastalık algısı ile yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte, yaşam kalitesini en çok etkileyen faktörler fonksiyonel durum ve yaşam kalitesidir. Sonuç: Rutin klinik uygulamada hastalık algısının değerlendirilmesi, hastanın davranışlarında tedaviye uyuma engel olabilecek sorunların daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunabilir. Konvansiyonel terapiyeek olarak psikoterapötik yaklaşımlar, AS'de hastaların yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmede katkıda bulunabilir.
