Kinesiophobia in Familial Mediterranean Fever
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Kinesiophobia is a common problem in patients with rheumatic disease and can cause physical inactivity, social isolation, disability, and poor quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and associated factors in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). All patients were evaluated in terms of sociodemographic characteristics and assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Detailed Description
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a common autoinflammatory disease among certain ethnic groups living in the Mediterranean basin. The reported prevalence of FMF among children in Turkey is 9.3/10000. Kinesiophobia is a common problem in patients with rheumatic disease and can cause physical inactivity, social isolation, disability, and poor quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and associated factors in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). All patients were evaluated in terms of sociodemographic characteristics and assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) [at the enrollment]
The TKS consists of 17 items scored on a 4-point Likert scale and measures fear of movement/(re)injury. The questions include the parameters of injury/reinjury and fear-avoidance in work-related activities [15]. The total score is obtained by summing all items, and a higher score indicates greater fear of movement. A total score greater than 37 is regarded as indicating a high level of kinesiophobia
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [at the enrollment]
The scale consists of 14 items divided into the depression and anxiety subscales, each with 7 items. The items on the scale are scored from 0 to 3 using a 4-point Likert scale. The scores of the odd-numbered items are summed to obtain the anxiety subscale (HADS-A) score and the even-numbered items are summed to obtain the depression subscale (HADS-D) score. Possible scores for each subscale range from 0 to 21.
- International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) [at the enrollment]
In the IPAQ, respondents estimate how often and for how long they engaged in various activities in the last 7 days. To determine PA levels, the known metabolic equivalent (MET) for each activity is multiplied by its duration and frequency to obtain a score in MET minutes. MET values used in this study were 8.0 for vigorous physical activity (VPA) [8, 19], 4.0 for moderate physical activity (MPA), and 3.3 for light physical activity (LPA). The overall PA score is calculated by summing the results of all items [20]. PA levels were classified into 3 categories: inactive (<600 MET-min/week), low PA level (600-3000 MET-min/week), and adequate PA level (>3000 MET-min/week)
