| Abstract (English): | Objective: In this study, the prevalence of insomnia and the effects of factors such as depression, anxiety, and fatigue on sleep and quality of life in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) were investigated. Materials and Methods: One hundred and five RRMS patients and 105 healthy control groups were examined. Insomnia, depression, anxiety, sleep and life qualities and fatigue were evaluated with scales. Results: The insomnia prevalence was higher in MS patients than in the control group (31.7% vs. 17.1%, p = 0.014). Fatigue, anxiety and depression levels increased in MS patients, and sleep and life qualities were significantly impaired (p < 0.001). Fatigue, anxiety and depression levels were higher in female patients than in males, while quality of life was lower (p < 0.001). It has shown an increasing effect on depression and anxiety levels, insomnia and deterioration in sleep quality. Conclusion: Factors that adversely affect sleep and quality of life, especially depression, anxiety and fatigue, should be carefully evaluated in RRMS patients. This emphasizes the importance of individual approaches in clinical management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Turkish): | Amaç: Bu çalışmada, relapsing-remitting multipl skleroz (RRMS) hastalarında insomnia prevalansı ile depresyon, anksiyete, yorgunluk gibi faktörlerin uyku ve yaşam kalitesi üzerinde etkileri araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yüz beş RRMS hastası ve 105 sağlıklı kontrol grubu incelendi. İnsomnia, depresyon, anksiyete, yorgunluk, uyku ve yaşam kalitesini ölçen ölçeklerle değerlendirildi. Bulgular: RRMS hastalarında insomnia prevalansı, kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksekti (%31,7 vs. %17,1, p = 0,014). RRMS hastalarında depresyon, anksiyete ve yorgunluk düzeyleri artmış, uyku ve yaşam kalitesini belirgin şekilde bozulmuştu (p < 0,001). Kadın hastalarda yorgunluk, anksiyete ve depresyon seviyeleri erkeklere göre daha yüksek bulunurken yaşam kalitesi daha düşüktü (p < 0,001). Depresyon ve anksiyete düzeyleri, insomnia ve uyku kalitesindeki bozulmayı artırıcı etki göstermiştir. Sonuç: RRMS hastalarında uyku ve yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyen faktörler, özellikle depresyon, anksiyete ve yorgunluk, dikkatle değerlendirilmelidir. Bu durum, klinik yönetimde bireysel yaklaşımların önemini vurgulamaktadır. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
