ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that are most correlated with the levels of functional disability in patients with fibromyalgia.METHODS:
This is a cross-sectional descriptive study in which 42 patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology reported their status using the following questionnaires the Beck Depression Inventory, the Perceived Stress Scale 14, the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, the Visual Analog Pain Scale, and the Health Assessment Questionnaire.RESULTS:
Moderate to severe levels of depression (Beck Depression Inventory 22.35±10.39), moderate to severe functional disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire 1.28±0.58), and high levels of stress (Perceived Stress Scale 14 31.59±10.02) were found. The correlation adjusted by multiple regression as a function of the Health Assessment Questionnaire indicated a negligible to weak positive correlation with perceived stress (r=0.11), while a moderately strong positive correlation was observed with the Visual Analog Pain Scale (r=0.55). Regarding physical exercise, one of the pillars of the treatment, a moderate negative correlation was found with the Health Assessment Questionnaire (r=-0.4).CONCLUSION:
The pain levels were moderately influenced by depression severity. The factors most linked to functional disability are due to the pain levels but not to the perception of stress.
