Abstract

Objective The aim of our study is to evaluate the sleep quality, life satisfaction and general psychological status of healthy individuals and to examine whether the pressure pain threshold changes according to these factors. Material and Method Healthy young adults aged 18-25 years were included in the study. The PPT was measured using the algometer over the deltoid, ulna, hypotenar bump, thumb of the hand, tibia and quadriceps femoris muscle. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) were used to evaluate the sleep, quality of life, general health and psychological status of the participants. Results A total of 205 subjects [102 female (49.8%) and 103 male (50.2%)] with a mean age of 20.4±1.4 years participated in the study. When the relationship between pressure pain threshold-general body average (PPT-GBA) and the parameters of SWLS, GHQ and PSQI was examined, PPT-GBA was found to be; It was found that there was a positive low correlation with SWLS, negative correlation with GHQ and negative correlation with PSQI. Conclusion There are many psychosocial factors that affect the pressure pain threshold. The fact that factors such as life satisfaction, psychological health status and sleep quality are good ensure that the pressure pain threshold is perceived at high values.

Özet

Amaç Çalışmamızın amacı sağlıklı bireylerin uyku kalitesini, yaşam doyumu ve genel psikolojik durumlarını değerlendirerek basınç ağrı eşiğinin bu etkenlere göre değişiklik gösterip göstermediğini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem Çalışmaya 18-25 yaş arası sağlıklı genç yetişkinler dahil edildi. Basınç ağrı eşiği algometre kullanılarak ulna ve tibia kemiği, hipotenar tümsek, elin başparmağı, deltoid ve quadriceps femoris kası üzerinden ölçüldü. Katılımcıların uyku, yaşam kalitesi, genel sağlık ve psikolojik durumlarını belirlemek için Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği (YDÖ) ve Genel Sağlık Anketi (GSA), uyku kalitesini değerlendirmek için Pittsburgh Uyku Kalite İndeksi (PUKİ) kullanıldı. Bulgular Araştırmaya yaş ortalaması 20,4±1,4 yıl olan 102’si (%49,8) kadın, 103’ü (%50,2) erkek toplam 205 kişi katılmıştır. Basınç ağrı eşiği-genel vücut ortalaması (PPT-GVO) ile YDÖ, GSA ve PUKİ parametreleri arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde, PPT-GVO’nun; YDÖ ile pozitif yönlü düşük, GSA ile negatif yönlü orta düzeyde, PUKİ ile negatif yönlü orta düzeyde korelasyon gösterdiği bulundu (p<0,05). Sonuç Basınç ağrı eşiğini etkileyen çok sayıda psikososyal faktör vardır. Yaşam doyumu, psikolojik sağlık durumu ve uyku kalitesi gibi etkenlerin iyi olması basınç ağrı eşiğinin yüksek değerlerde algılanmasını sağlamaktadır.
