dc.description.abstractObjective: 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.
