Introdução: A Fibromialgia (FM) é uma síndrome dolorosa e crónica, com impacto negativo na Qualidade de Vida dos Doentes. Objetivos: Identificar o impacto e fatores determinantes da fibromialgia na qualidade de vida dos Doentes. Método Estudo quantitativo, não experimental, transversal e descritivo-correlacional. A amostra é constituída por 140 doentes com FM, inscritos na consulta da dor de dois Centros Hospitalares da região centro de Portugal. O protocolo de investigação integra questões de caracterização sociodemográfica, de saúde, e ainda uma escala que avalia o Impacto da Fibromialgia na qualidade de vida dos Doentes. Resultados: A amostra é maioritariamente (84,2%) feminina, com idade média de 56 anos, baixa escolaridade (6º ano) e em vida laboral ativa. Os dados revelam que o impacto global da FM é relevante (M= 63,76) o que significa má qualidade de vida dos doentes. Os fatores mais determinantes no impacto negativo foram: possuir idade superior a 60 anos (p=0.000), estar desempregado/reformado (p=0.027) não praticar exercício físico regular (p=0. 001), sentir dor moderada/intensa, (p=0.000) e não efetuar programa de reabilitação (p=0.016).
Conclusão: A FM exerce impacto negativo na qualidade de vida dos Doentes e evidencia a necessidade da implementação de estratégias de intervenção que minimizem a dor, limitem a incapacidade funcional e promovam a qualidade de vida dos doentes fibromiálgicos.
Abstract Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic and painful syndrome, which manifests itself in the musculoskeletal system and has serious repercussions on cognitive, emotional, physical and social levels with negative impact on the Quality of Life of People.Aim: To analyze the impact of FM on quality of life of people and to verify the extent of socio demographic and clinical influence in quality of life.Methodology: This is a quantitative, non-experimental, transversal, in a logic of descriptive and correlational analysis. The sample consisted of 70 patients diagnosed with FM, who attend pain clinics in three Hospitals of the Central Region of Portugal. The instrument for data collection is a questionnaire consisting of socio demographic and clinical characterization, assessment of pain and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Results: The sample is mainly female (84,3%), lives together, has an average age of 56.97 years, has the 4th school grade and is working on average 8h/day. The data reveal that the variables that influenced the quality of life are: age, employment status, the "way they live"; practicing physical exercise and the pain intensity, being this last the one that represents the largest association. Conclusion: The results support the multidimensionality and variability in the quality of life of patients with FM and show the need for health professionals to promote intervention programs in the community, in order to implement intervention strategies that minimize pain, functional disability and promote the patients with fibromyalgia quality of life.
