Abstract

Objective: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sleep disorder. In addition to disturbing sleep, however, RLS also affects quality of life and may lead to significant fatigue orpsychiatric symptoms. This study was an examination of the effects of RLS on quality of lifeand symptoms of anxiety and depression.Methods: In this study, 55 patients (7 males and 48 females) who met the diagnostic criteriaof idiopathic RLS and 35 healthy individuals (8 males, 27 females) were evaluated using validated Turkish versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth SleepinessScale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the International Restless Legs Syndrome StudyGroup (IRLSSG) rating scale for the severity of RLS, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), BeckAnxiety Inventory (BAI), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the Short Form Health Survey(SF-36), which measures quality of life.Results: Fifty-two patients who met the diagnostic criteria for idiopathic RLS were evaluated in Group I and 35 healthy controls were included in Group II. A statistically significantdifference was observed in the PSQI, ESS, ISI, BDI, BAI, FSS, and SF-36 questionnaire resultsin the RLS group compared with the control group. The mean score of the SF-36 PhysicalComponent Summary (PCS) scale was significantly lower among RLS patients than thatof the healthy subjects. There was a negative correlation between the PCS score and RLSseverity, fatigue, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, anxiety, and the level of depressive symptoms. Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that the FSS and BDI valueswere influential variables on the PCS score.Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrated that patients with idiopathicRLS experienced significantly impaired quality of life and the psychiatric symptoms of anxietyand depression.

Özet

Amaç: Huzursuz bacaklar sendromu (HBS) sık karşılaşılan bir uyku bozukluğudur. HBS uyku bozukluğu dışında hayat kalitesini etkilemekte, yorgunluk ve psikiyatrik semptomlara neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada HBS’nin yaşam kalitesi ile anksiyete ve depresyon gibi psikiyatrik belirtiler üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada nöroloji polikliniğinde HBS için sekonder nedenler dışlandıktan sonra idiyopatik HBS tanı kriterlerini karşılayan 55 hasta (7 erkek 48 kadın) ile herhangi bir hastalığı olmayan sağlıklı 35 birey (8 erkek 27 kadın) değerlendirildi. Tüm bireylere Türkçe validasyonu yapılmış Pittsburg Uyku Kalite Ölçeği (PUKÖ), Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği (EUÖ), Uykusuzluk Şiddet Ölçeği (UŞÖ), HBS şiddet skalası (IRLSSG), Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ), Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ), Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği (YŞÖ) ve yaşam kalitesi formu (SF-36) uygulandı. Bulgular: İdiyopatik HBS tanı kriterlerini karşılayan 55 hasta Grup I, kontrol grubu olan sağlıklı 35 birey Grup II’de değerlendirildi. Tüm bireylere uygulanan PUKÖ, EUÖ, UŞÖ, BDÖ, BAÖ, YŞÖ, SF-36 anketlerinde HBS grubunda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede fark gözlendi. HBS olgularında sağlıklı bireylere göre özellikle SF-36 fiziksel bileşen özet ölçek (PCS) ortalama skoru anlamlı ölçüde düşük bulundu. PCS ile HBS şiddeti, yorgunluk, uykusuzluk, gün içi uykululuk, uyku kalitesi, anksiyete ve depressif belirtilerin seviyesi arasında negatif korelasyon mevcuttu. Çok değişkenli lineer regresyon analizi ile PCS skoru üzerinde etkili olası değişkenler olarak YŞÖ ve BDÖ saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada idiyopatik HBS’de yaşam kalitesi ile anksiyete ve depresyon gibi psikiyatrik belirtilerin önemli ölçüde bozulduğu gösterilmiştir.
