Özet
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and psychological parameters. Methods: Acute CSCR patients, myopia patients and healthy volunteers compatible in terms of age and gender, were included in the study. Acute CSCR diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation, optic coherence, and fl uorescein angiography. All volunteers were evaluated using a sociodemographic form, State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) and Short Form 36 (SF-36). Results: We determined a higher mean trait anxiety level in the acute CSCR group (x? = 44.33), compared to the control (x? = 36.72, p = 0.048) and myopic (x? = 35.22, p = 0.021) groups. There was no signifi cant difference between the groups in terms of state anxiety (p = 0.295), depression (p = 0.763), and health anxiety (p = 0.405). In addition, there was no difference between the groups in terms of sub-parameters of quality of life, such as physical functionality (p = 0.925), physical role limitation (p = 0.110), emotional role limitation (p = 0.474), vitality (p = 0.078), mental health (p = 0.532), social functionality (p = 0.335), pain (p = 0.352) and general health (p = 0.074). Conclusion: Our study results revealed the relationship between acute CSCR and anxiety. This relationship suggests that it is not a natural and temporary stress response caused by having any eye disease.
