Purpose: COVID-19, which has affected people in various ways, has also shown to cause various limitations on the lives of Scleroderma patients. The current study aims at evaluating the upper extremity functions, sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in Scleroderma patients and to determine the factors affecting upper extremity functions.
Methods: A total of 83 participants were recruited in this study. Of the participants, 39 were Scleroderma patients (mean age 43.28±9.96 years) and 44 were healthy controls (mean age 40.05±8.89 years). The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH) and Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) were applied to evaluate upper extremity functions of the participants. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) were used to evaluate the sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life, respectively.
Results: Scleroderma patients had significantly lower scores in hand functions, sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality than the healthy group (p=0.001). The correlations between DASH and PSQI (r=0.559, p=0.001), FSS (r=0.496, p=0.001), SHAQ scores (r=0.754, p=0.001) were highly positive. Similarly, a high correlation was found between MHQ and SHAQ scores (r=-0.679, p=0.001).
Conclusion: Upper extremity functions and health-related quality of life were found to be affected in patients with Scleroderma. It was revealed that upper extremity functions were affected by sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life. Therefore, knowing all these effects and their relationships with each other allows to draw a systematic treatment plan on Scleroderma patients.

COVID-19 PANDEMİSİ SIRASINDA SKLERODERMALI HASTALARDA FONKSİYON, UYKU, YORGUNLUK VE YAŞAM KALİTESİ: KESİTSEL ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Amaç: İnsan sağlığını çeşitli şekillerde etkileyen COVID-19, Skleroderma hastalarının yaşamlarında da çeşitli etkilere ve kısıtlamalara neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Skleroderma hastalarında üst ekstremite fonksiyonları, uyku kalitesi, yorgunluk ve sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonlarını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 83 katılımcı dahil edildi. Katılımcıların 39'u Skleroderma hastası (ortalama yaş 43,28±9,96 yıl) ve 44'ü sağlıklı kontrol (ortalama yaş 40,05±8,89 yıl) idi. Katılımcıların üst ekstremite fonksiyonlarını değerlendirmede Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları Anketi ve Michigan El Sonuç Anketi uygulandı. Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi, Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği ve Skleroderma Sağlık Değerlendirme Anketi sırasıyla uyku kalitesini, yorgunluğu ve sağlıkla ilişkili yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için kullanıldı.
Sonuçlar: Skleroderma hastaları, el fonksiyonları, uyku kalitesi, yorgunluk ve sağlıkla ilgili kalite açısından sağlıklı gruba göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük puanlara sahipti (p=0,001). Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları Anketi puanı ile Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi puanı (r=0,559, p=0,001), Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği puanı (r=0,496, p=0,001), Skleroderma Sağlık Değerlendirme Anketi puanı (r=0,754, p=0,001) arasında pozitif yönde yüksek korelasyon vardı. Benzer şekilde Michigan El Sonuç Anketi puanı ile Skleroderma Sağlık Değerlendirme Anketi puanı arasında da yüksek korelasyon bulundu (r=-0,679, p=0,001).
Tartışma: Sklerodermalı hastalarda üst ekstremite fonksiyonlarının ve sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesinin etkilendiği bulundu. Üst ekstremite fonksiyonlarının uyku kalitesi, yorgunluk ve sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesinden etkilendiği ortaya kondu. Dolayısıyla tüm bu etkileri ve birbirleriyle olan ilişkilerini bilmek Skleroderma hastalarında sistematik bir tedavi planı çizmeye olanak sağlar.
