Sažetak

 

 

Uvod: Degenerativni reumatizam je sporo progresivno oboljenje kod kog primarno dolazi do destrukcije zglobne hrskavice, a sekundarno do formiranja subhondralne skleroze, osteofita i zadebljanja zglobne kapsule. Povišen stepen zamora i smanjena fizička aktivnost se često javljaju u sklopu navedenog oboljenja. Cilj: Ispitati faktore rizika koji utiču na fizičku aktivnost i zamor kod pacijenata koji boluju od degenerativnog reumatizma. Materijal i metode rada: Prospektivna studija preseka je obuhvatila 51 ispitanika oba pola, starosti 18-65 godina, obolelih od degenerativnog reumatizma, lečenih u Specijalnoj bolnici za reumatske bolesti u Novom Sadu. Analizirani su sledeći upitnici: upitnik koji je sastavljen od strane ispitivača, a koji sadrži sociodemografske podele i podatke o fizikalnom lečenju, Vizuelno analogna skala bola, Skala zamora – Fatigue Severity Scale i Internacionalni upitnik o fizičkoj aktivnosti – International physical activity questionnaire. Upitnik o sociodemografskim podacima sadržao je pitanja: o polu, starosnoj dobi, o načinu svakodnevnog kretanja, o tome da li je ispitanik pušač, pitanje za žene da li su i koliko dugo u menopauzi. Dobijeni podaci su obrađeni u statističkom paketu SPSS ver. 24 (Statistical Pasckage for the Social Sciences) for Windows. Rezultati: Prosečna starost ispitanika je 55,33 godina, pri čemu je osoba muškog pola činilo 25,5%, a ženskog pola 74,5%. Procena bola na desetostepenoj Vizuelno analognoj skali je iznosila (5,45±2,00). Prosečna ostvarena vrednost zamora koji je meren Skalom zamora iznosi 30,82±12,33, što ukazuje na osrednji nivo zamora ispitanih pacijenata. Nije pronađena statistička povezanost i korelacija između sociodemografskih varijabli i varijabli koje se odnose na zamor(statistička značajnost F i t-testa viša je od granične vrednosti od p≤0,05). Zaključak: Osobe ženskog pola koje su u menopauzi imaju značajno niži intenzitet zamora u odnosu na osobe ženskog pola koje još uvek nisu ušle u period menopauze. Menopauza i pušački status nisu prediktori ni zamora, ni slabije fizičke aktivnosti kod pacijenata sa degenerativnim reumatizmom.

 

Ključne reči:

Abstract

 

Introduction: Degenerative rheumatism is a slowly progressive condition characterized primarily by the destruction of joint cartilage and, secondarily, by the formation of subchondral sclerosis, osteophytes, and thickening of the joint capsule. Elevated levels of fatigue and reduced physical activity are common in this condition. The aim: To investigate the risk factors affecting physical activity and fatigue in patients suffering from degenerative rheumatism. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study included 51 participants of both genders, aged 18-65, diagnosed with degenerative rheumatism and treated at the Special Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Novi Sad. The following questionnaires were analyzed: a questionnaire compiled by the examiner containing sociodemographic divisions and information about physical treatment, Visual Analog Scale for pain, Fatigue Severity Scale, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The socio-demographic questionnaire included questions about gender, age, daily mobility, smoking status, and, for women, menopausal status. Data were processed using the statistical package SPSS ver. 24 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for Windows. Results: The average age of the participants was 55.33 years, with 25.5% being male and 74.5% female. The average pain assessment on a ten-point Visual Analog Scale was (5.45±2.00). The average achieved value of fatigue, as measured by the Fatigue Severity Scale, is 30.82±12.33, indicating a moderate level of fatigue in the surveyed patients. No statistical significance or correlation was found between sociodemographic variables and variables related to fatigue (F and t-test statistical significance was higher than the threshold of p≤0.05). Conclusion: Females in menopause experience significantly lower levels of fatigue compared to females who have not entered menopause. Menopause and smoking status are not predictors of fatigue or physical activity in patients with degenerative rheumatism.
