Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the hopelessness status of women with myofascial and traumatic shoulder pain.
Materials and method: 60 volunteer women with an average age of 40.1 years participated in the study. Socioeconomic characteristics of the individuals were examined with the help of the form prepared by the researchers. Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) was used to determine the hopelessness level. Data were collected with face to face interview technique by a nurse in this prospective study.
Results: The average score of BHS in the study was 7.4 for the myofascial group and 3.8 for the traumatic group and the difference between groups was statistically significant (p=0.02).
Conclusion: There was a relationship between low education level, low income level, dissension between spouses, and the hopelessness in the myofascial group. It is important to evaluate the hopelessness level of women with myofascial shoulder pain. Because they may need social and psychological support in addition to medical treatment to overcome their complaints.

OMUZ AĞRISI OLAN KADINLARIN UMUTSUZLUK DÜZEYLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı miyofasyal ve travmatik omuz ağrısı olan kadınların umutsuzluk düzeylerini değerlendirmek ve karşılaştırmaktı.
Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 40.1 yıl olan 60 gönüllü kadın katıldı. Bireylerin sosyoekonomik özellikleri araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan form yardımıyla incelendi. Umutsuzluk düzeyini belirlemek için Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği (BUÖ) kullanıldı. Bu prospektif çalışmada veriler bir hemşire tarafından yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplandı.
Bulgular: Çalışmadaki ortalama BUÖ skoru miyofasyal grup için 7.4 ve travmatik grup için 3.8 idi ve gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p=0.02).
Sonuç: Miyofasyal grupta düşük eğitim düzeyi, düşük gelir seviyesi, eşler arasında geçimsizlik ile umutsuzluk arasında bir ilişki vardı. Miyofasyal omuz ağrısı olan kadınların umutsuzluk düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi önemlidir. Çünkü şikayetlerinin üstesinden gelmek için tıbbi tedaviye ek olarak sosyal ve psikolojik desteğe ihtiyaç duyabilirler.
