About this study

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of social media usage on pain catastrophizing and disease impact in female individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the total number of female patients obtained as a result of sample size calculations was 73, and the effect of social media use on pain catastrophizing and disease impact of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia will be investigated. Social media use will be evaluated with the Social Media Use Integration Scale, disease impact with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, anxiety levels with the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and pain catastrophizing level with the pain catastrophizing scale. At the same time, a form including demographic data of the patients will be filled. The results will be evaluated with the tests prescribed by the statistical expert, and correlation will be investigated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pain catastrophizing scaleOther

    The pain catastrophizing scale is a self-report questionnaire used to assess an individual's tendency to engage in catastrophic thinking when experiencing pain. It measures the extent to which a person magnifies, feels helpless, and feels unable to cope with pain. The scale typically consists of several items that ask individuals to rate the degree to which they experience specific thoughts or emotions related to pain catastrophizing, such as "I worry all the time about whether the pain will end" or "I feel like I can't stand it anymore." Participants provide responses on a Likert scale indicating the intensity or frequency of their agreement with each statement. The scale helps researchers and healthcare professionals gain insights into an individual's cognitive and emotional responses to pain, which can have implications for pain management strategies and overall well-being.

  • Beck Anxiety InventoryOther

    Beck Anxiety Inventory" (BAI), which is designed to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms in individuals. The BAI is a self-report questionnaire consisting of 21 items that assess various symptoms of anxiety, such as nervousness, fear, and physiological manifestations of anxiety. Participants rate the intensity of their symptoms over the past week on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (severely). The scores obtained on the BAI can help clinicians and researchers evaluate the presence and severity of anxiety symptoms, monitor changes over time, and guide treatment decisions. It is important to note that the BAI is not a diagnostic tool but rather a measure of self-reported anxiety symptoms.

  • Social Media Use Integration ScaleOther

    The Social Media Use Integration Scale (SMUIS) is a self-report measure that assesses the degree to which individuals integrate social media into their daily lives. It aims to capture the extent to which individuals incorporate social media use into various aspects of their routines, behaviors, and identity. The scale typically consists of items that assess factors such as the frequency and duration of social media use, the importance and impact of social media on personal relationships, the integration of social media into daily activities, and the emotional connection to social media.

  • Fibromyalgia Impact QuestionnaireOther

    The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) is a widely used self-report measure specifically designed to assess the impact of fibromyalgia on various aspects of a person's life. It is a multidimensional questionnaire that evaluates the physical functioning, social functioning, and overall well-being of individuals with fibromyalgia.

    The FIQ typically consists of items that ask individuals to rate the impact of fibromyalgia on their ability to perform daily activities, such as work, household chores, and recreational activities. It also assesses the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. Additionally, the questionnaire may include items related to emotional well-being, social support, and overall quality of life.
