Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Fibromyalgia is the second most common diagnosis made in rheumatology clinics, yet its etiology remains a source of controversy The present study is aimed to measure the correlation of stress with fibromyalgia and also the correlation of depression with fibromyalgia. The present study is also aimed to measure the correlation of stress with fibromyalgia syndrome in between young aged and middle aged adults and then also the correlation of depression with fibromyalgia in between young aged and middle aged adults. Tools used during the assessment were fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI),Cohen perceived stress scale (CPSS) and General Assessment Proforma (GAP).The results further proved that impact of FMS on stress is mild to moderate while impact of FMS on depression is moderate to severe in terms of percentage.Although,statistically no such significance was found among the relation of two variables. The study further goes on proving that correlation of stress with fibromyalgia is more prominent in young aged adults as compared to middle aged adults while correlation of depression with FMS is more prominent in middle aged adults as compared to young aged adults. SUMMARY The research was carried out by collecting data from 120 patients having FMS, stress and depression This included 60 males and 60 females of both stress and depression and of both young aged adult group (19 to 39) and middle aged adult group (40 – 65). Study proved that high impact of FMS is seen on depression ranging from moderate to severe while impact of FMS on stress is mild to moderate in terms of percentage but there is no statistical significance found in favour of this statement. Also correlation of stress with FMS is more prominent in Young aged adult group than the Middle aged adult group. Then, finally correlation of depression with FMS is more prominent in Middle aged adult group than Young aged adult group. .
