Öğe Evaluation of Depression, Temperament and Character Profiles in Female Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome(Aves, 2011) Altunoren, Ozlem; Orhan, Fatma Ozlem; Nacitarhan, Vedat; Ozer, Ali; Karaaslan, Mehmet Fatih; Altunoren, OrcunObjective: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by diffuse body pain and is also regarded as a psychosomatic disorder. FMS is most commonly associated with depression among the psychological disorders. It is known that personality plays an important role in the etiology of psychosomatic disorders. In this study, we analyzed the temperament characteristics of FMS patients and healthy control group and, using data obtained from both groups, investigated whether these traits were associated with clinical features and depressive states in FMS patients. Methods: Fifty-one FMS patients and 51 healthy women were included in the study. Both groups were evaluated according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (text revision) (DSM-IV-TR). The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were applied to both groups. Results: According to DSM-IV-TR, 76.5% of FMS patients were diagnosed with psychiatric disorder. FMS patients had higher harm avoidance scores and lower self-directedness and persistence scores than healthy controls. Harm avoidance scores were found higher and self-directedness scores were found lower when the total corrected increment (TCI) points were used, but cooperation scores increased. HAM-D scores correlated positively with harm avoidance scores, but negatively with both self-directedness and cooperation scores. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms and personality features are related to the duration and severity of FMS, and therefore, should be further evaluated by physicians when planning the treatment and follow-up in FMS patients.

The study population consisted of 39 hemodialysis patients (24 female, 15 male), 30 peritoneal dialysis patients (16 female, 14 male), and 39 age and gender-matched healthy control subjects (24 female, 15 male). All participants were instructed to complete a self-administered 240-item temperament and character inventory (TCI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Novelty Seeking and Self-Directedness scores were significantly lower in patients. There was no difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients regarding depression and anxiety scores. There were no significant correlations between TCI scores and laboratory variables. Studies in this area may lead to the development of specific and focused interventions for temperament and character profiles in HD and PD patients. We suggest that evaluation and treatment of ESRD patients should also include psychosomatic approaches in clinical practice.
