Abstract

Introduction: In this study, in patients diagnosed with osteoporosis the relationship between fall risk and depression, anxiety and quality of life has been investigated. Methods: This study included 100 women with and without osteoporosis. The Morse Fall Scale(MFS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and European Osteoporosis Society Quality of Life Survey (QUALEFFO) scale were applied. Results: The mean fall risk value was higher in patients with osteoporosis than in healthy controls and was statistically significant (p=0.005). In osteoporosis patients, there was a positive correlation all score (r=0.226, r=0.23, r=0.302, respectively). Conclusion :As a result, patients with osteoporosis had an increased risk of falling,depression and anxiety levels.There was no correlation between the risk of falling and depression and anxiety levels, but it was observed that the quality of life worsened with the increased risk of falling.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada osteoporoz tanısı almış hastalarda düşme riski ile depresyon, anksiyete ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya osteoporozu olan ve olmayan 100 kadın dahil edildi. Morse Düşme Ölçeği (MFS), Beck Anksiyete Envanteri (BAI), Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDI) ve Avrupa Osteoporoz Derneği Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi (QUALEFFO) ölçeği uygulandı. Morse Düşme Ölçeği (MFS), Beck Anksiyete Envanteri (BAI), Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDI) ve Avrupa Osteoporoz Derneği Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi (QUALEFFO) ölçeği uygulandı. Bulgular: Osteoporozlu hastalarda düşme riski değeri ortalaması sağlıklı kontrollere göre daha yüksekti ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p=0,005). Osteoporozlu hastalarda tüm skorlar arasında pozitif korelasyon vardı (sırasıyla r=0,226, r=0,23, r=0,302). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak osteoporozlu hastalarda düşme riski, depresyon ve anksiyete düzeyleri artmıştır. Düşme riski ile depresyon ve anksiyete düzeyleri arasında bir korelasyon bulunmamış ancak düşme riskinin artmasıyla yaşam kalitesinin kötüleştiği gözlenmiştir.
