Özet
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare demographic characteristics and quality of life In patients with musculoskeletal system disorders localized in various regions. Material and methods: Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was applied in order to measure life qualities of the patients and a questionnaire of personal information was given. Among these patients, 3 different groups were formed as low back, neck and multi-involved and they were compared with respect to NHP. Binary comparisons were performed in parameters which demonstrated a difference. Demographic properties, exercise habits and pain seventy that is measured with visual analog scale were taken down. Low back pain, neck and multi-involved patient group's results were compared. Results: A difference was found In age and occupation distribution in the sub-groups with respect to demographic features (p<0.05). A difference was found in physical mobility and pain parameters when NHP was considered (p<0.05). Both parameters were worse in low back and multi involved groups compared to the neck group. Fatigue and social isolation were better in patients having exercising habits (p<0.05). Conclusion: The region of the musculoskeletal system disease, age, BMI, pain severity, education, presence of a systemic disease, gender and exercising habits may affect life quality.
