About this study

Official title: the Prevalance of Headache and Effects on Biopsychosocial Status in Undergraduate Students

The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of headache in undergraduate students. The frequency, duration, localizations and symptoms of headache will be determined with the information obtained as a result of the forms filled in by the participants.

The second aim of this study is to examine the effects of headache on physical, social and psychological status in undergraduate student(participants) from a biopsychosocial perspective.

Read the detailed description

Headache is one of the most common nervous system disorders in society. 95 percent of the population has experienced a headache at least once in their life. The one-year prevalence is almost 1 in 2 people.

The prevalence of headache increases with age. While there is no difference between the sexes in terms of incidence before adolescence, it is more common in the female population in the post-adolescent period.

The ICF model, developed by the World Health Organization, adopts the biopsychosocial approach to provide a holistic perspective. According to this approach, it is aimed to develop interventions by evaluating and examining the biological and psychosocial effects of illness and disability, functionality, needs and demands of the individual.

Headache is also a disease that should be addressed from a biopsychosocial perspective.

Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of headache in undergraduate students. The frequency, duration, localizations and symptoms of headache will be determined with the information obtained as a result of the forms filled in by the participants.

The second aim of this study is to examine the effects of headache on physical, social and psychological status in undergraduate student(participants) from a biopsychosocial perspective.
