Evaluation of Anxiety in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
View through CrossRef
Aim/Background:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a frequently encountered health problem in
gastroenterology and primary care practice. The pathophysiology of IBS is still
not fully elucidated. Psychogenic factors may play a significant role in the
emergence and progression of the disease. Anxiety, a widespread psychiatric
sign with many physical symptoms is the most crucial factor in psychogenic
factors of IBS. The aim of this study was to investigate anxiety symptoms in
patients with IBS in daily gastroenterology practice. Method: In our study, 100 patients diagnosed with IBS between 16-75
years of age who admitted to our internal medicine and gastroenterology
outpatient clinics between April 2015 and June 2015 and 70 healthy individuals
between the ages of 16-75 in the control group were included. Patients were
diagnosed according to Rome III criteria. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
(STAI) I and II were used. STAI-I was used to measure instant moods and STAI-II
was used to measure perpetual anxiety of the study groups. Results: As a result of our study, anxiety scores were found to be
significantly higher in patients with IBS than in the controls. Conclusion: We believe that our study
is capable of raising awareness on the evaluation of anxiety in patients with
IBS. With this awareness, the evaluation of anxiety symptoms and also the
diagnosis of possible anxiety disorders in IBS patients may come to mind
earlier. Early recognition and treatment of anxiety symptoms possibly
associated with IBS will contribute to IBS treatment in daily gastroenterology
practice. Amaç: İrritabl barsak sendromu (IBS) gastroenteroloji ve birinci basamak
uygulamalarında sıkça karşılaşılan bir sağlık sorunudur. IBS patofizyolojisi
hala tam olarak açıklığa kavuşturulmamıştır. Psikojenik faktörler, hastalığın
ortaya çıkmasında ve ilerlemesinde önemli bir rol oynayabilir. Birçok fiziksel
belirtiye sahip ve yaygın bir psikiyatrik bozukluk olan anksiyete, IBS'in
gelişimde önemli faktördür. Bu çalışmanın amacı günlük pratikte
gastroenteroloji polikliniklerinde IBS’ li hastalarda anksiyete semptomlarını
araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmamızda
Nisan 2015 - Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında iç hastalıkları ve
gastroenteroloji polikliniğimize başvuran 16-75 yaş arası IBS tanısı alan 100
hasta ile 16-75 yaş arası 70 sağlıklı birey vardı. Roma III kriterlerine göre
hastalar teşhis edildi. Durum Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri (STAI) I ve II
kullanıldı. Çalışma gruplarının anlık duygu durumları ölçmek için STAI-I,
sürekli kaygılarını ölçmek için ise STAI-II kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmamız sonucunda IBS
hastalarında kaygı puanları kontrol grubundan anlamlı derecede daha yüksek
bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın IBS
hastalarında anksiyete değerlendirmesi konusunda farkındalık yaratabildiğine
inanıyoruz. Bu bilinçle, IBS hastalarında anksiyete belirtilerinin
değerlendirilmesi ve olası anksiyete bozukluklarının tanısı daha erken akla
gelebilir. Muhtemelen IBS ile ilişkili anksiyete belirtilerinin erken tanınması
ve tedavisi günlük gastroenteroloji pratiğinde IBS tedavisine katkıda
bulunacaktır.
