Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the musculoskeletal health status, pain acceptance, and coping strategies of individuals with chronic pain and physical disabilities and compare them with control group. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 88 participants, divided into two groups: the study group (individuals with chronic pain and physical disabilities; n=44) and the control group (individuals with chronic pain but without disabilities; n=44). Participants' musculoskeletal health was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Health Questionnaire (MHQ), pain acceptance using the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ), and coping strategies were evaluated using the COPE inventory. Results: Significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of MHQ scores and COPE scores (p 0.05). Discussion: This results emphasizes the need for a careful assessment of coping strategies in individuals with chronic pain and physical disabilities in interdisciplinary chronic pain management programs, as well as the inclusion of personalized coping strategies in the intervention program.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kronik ağrılı ve bedensel engelli bireylerin kas-iskelet sistemi sağlık durumu, ağrı kabulü ve başa çıkma stratejilerinin belirlenmesi ve kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya çalışma grubu (kronik ağrısı ve bedensel engeli olan bireyler; n=44) ve kontrol grubu (kronik ağrısı olan ancak engeli olmayan bireyler; n=44) olmak üzere iki gruptan oluşan toplam 88 katılımcı dahil edildi. Katılımcıların sağlık durumu Kas-İskelet Sistemi Sağlık Durumu Anketi (MHQ), ağrı kabulü Kronik Ağrı Kabul Anketi (CPAQ) ve başa çıkma stratejileri COPE envanteri kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Gruplar arasında, MHQ ve COPE puanları açısından kontrol grubu lehine anlamlı farklılıklar varken (p 0,05). Tartışma: Çalışma sonuçları, disiplinler arası kronik ağrı yönetimi programlarında bedensel engelli bireylerde başa çıkma stratejilerinin dikkatli değerlendirilmesi ve kişiye uygun başa çıkma stratejilerinin müdehale programına dahil edilmesi konularına dikat çekmektedir.
