    Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the physical and emotional effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients. Patients and methods: The cross-sectional controlled study was performed with 1,360 participants (332 males, 1,028 females; mean age: 42.3±12.5 years; range, 18 to 65 years) between September 2020 and February 2021. The participants were evaluated in three groups: the FMS group (n=465), the CLBP group (n=455), and the healthy control group (n=440). Physical activity, pain levels, and general health status before and during the pandemic were evaluated in all participants. Stress levels were analyzed with the perceived stress scale (PSS) in all groups, and disease activity was analyzed with the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) in patients with FMS. Results: Patients with FMS had worsened general health status and pain levels during the pandemic compared to the other groups (p<0.01). The FMS group showed significantly higher PSS scores than those in other groups (p<0.01). There was a weak-positive correlation between FIQ and PSS parameters in patients with FMS (p<0.05, r=0.385). Conclusion: The general health status, pain, and stress levels of the patients with FMS and CLBP tended to worsen during the pandemic. This high-stress level appeared to affect disease activity in patients with FMS.

    The relations of traumatic life events with depression, loneliness, anxiety, posttraumatic growth, and pain in refugee university students
    (Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi, 2020) Şahin, Şengül; Altındağ, Özlem; Elboğa, Gülçin; Elçiçek, Selahaddin; Akaltun, Mazlum Serdar; Altındağ, Abdurrahman; Gür, Ali; Doğan, İlkay
    Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of traumatic experiences and the relationship between traumas and anxiety, loneliness, depression, posttraumatic growth and pain, in refugee university students. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the Gaziantep University between September 2017 and September 2018. UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Loneliness Scale, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Traumatic Events Checklist (T.E.C) were used for assessment purposes. Results: A total of 71 students were included in our study. There was a positive correlation between UCLA and BDI, T.E.C and a negative correlation between UCLA and PTGE. There was a positive correlation between BDI and BAI, T.E.C. A negative correlation was determined between PTGE and BDI and also T.E.C. A significant and positive correlation was observed between duration of pain felt during a day and T.E.C, BDI, and a negative correlation between duration of pain and PTGE. Conclusion: Excessive traumatic experiences were positively related with depression and negatively related with traumatic growth. The duration of pain felt during a day was positively related with the excess of depressive symptoms and traumatic events, however there was no relationship between the presence of pain/localization of pain and assessment scales.
