Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and residual symptoms and functionality levels in patients with bipolar affective disorder. Materials and Methods: The study included 85 consecutive patients with bipolar affective disorder who were diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder according to DSM-5, were aged between 18-65 years, were literate and applied to the outpatient clinic. The patients were grouped as those with depressive/manic symptoms and those in remission with residual symptoms. Results: There was no statistically significant difference among the participants according to having or not having manic residual symptoms in the The Fear of COVID-19 Scale. The participants which did not have any depressive residual symptoms demonstrated statistically significant lower scores than the participants who had depressive residual symptoms in The Fear of COVID-19 Scale. The Hamilton Depression Scale and Functioning Assessment Short Test scores scores were significantly positively correlated with Fear of COVID-19 Scale scores. Conclusion: Patients with depressive residual symptoms score significantly higher in the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Studying resilience, fear of illness and residual symptoms in patients during the stress period will also be valuable in terms of determining follow-up and treatment strategies.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada bipolar affektif bozukluk tanılı hastalarda COVID-19 korkusu ile kalıntı belirtiler ve işlevsellik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya DSM-5’e göre bipolar affektif bozukluk tanısı bulunan, 18-65 yaş arasında ve okur yazar olan, polikliniğe kendisi başvuran ardışık 85 bipolar affektif bozukluk tanılı hasta alınmıştır. Hastalar depresif /manik belirtiler gösteren, remisyonda olup da kalıntı belirtileri olanlar olarak gruplandırılmıştır. Bulgular: YMDÖ’ye göre ‘manik kalıntı belirtileri olan’ olarak sınıflandırılan katılımcıların bu ölçekte medyan puanı 1 ± 1,14'tü. Katılımcılar arasında manik kalıntı belirti olup olmamasına göre COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçek puanları açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. Depresif kalıntı semptomu olmayan katılımcılar, depresif kalıntı semptomu olanlara göre COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeğinde anlamlı şekilde daha düşük puanlar göstermiştir. HAM-D Ölçeği, . İşlevsellik Kısa Değerlendirme Testi ile COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği puanları arasında anlamlı düzeyde pozitif korelasyon saptanmıştır Sonuç: Depresif kalıntı semptomu olan hastalar COVID -19 korku ölçeğinde anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek puan almışlardır. Stres döneminde hastalarda dayanıklılık hastalık korkusu ve kalıntı belirtilerin çalışılması da takip ve tedavi stratejilerinin belirlenmesi açısından kıymetli olacaktır.
