Abstract:
Background: Mastalgia is common among women and its aetiology is still not
fully understood. Many studies have been conducted to reveal the relationship
between breast pain and psychosomatic disorders. The goals of the project are to
compare the interaction of psychological symptoms and health related quality of life
(HRQL) in patients with mastalgia between Eastern and Western Turkey.
Materials and methods: Seventy-four women from the General Surgery Clinic
of Diyarbakır Ergani Hospital (Eastern group) (n=۳۹) and Istanbul University,
Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (Western group) (n=۳۵) were included in the study.
The symptom checklist-۹۰-revised (SCL-۹۰-R) scale was used to evaluate
physiological findings and Short Form-۳۶ (SF-۳۶) scale was used for evaluating
health related quality of life (HRQL).
Results: The median age of patients from Eastern group was ۲۷.۵۴ (۱۸-۳۹) years
and ۳۵.۵۷ (۱۸-۷۰) years in Western group (t=-۴.۵۸۵, P<۰.۰۰۰۱). Average Global
Severity İndex (GSI) scores of the eastern group were statistically significantly
higher than those of the western group (P<۰.۰۱). When the SCL-۹۰-R values of the
eastern and western groups were compared, somatization, interpersonal sensitivity,
phobic anxiety, psychoticism, depression and anxiety in the eastern group were
higher than in the western group. According to SF-۳۶ results, the mean scores in the
eastern group tended to be lower than those in the western group.
Conclusion: The results revealed that psychological symptoms differ between
eastern and western Turkey. This may indicate that socio-economic differences may
also have effects on psychological symptoms. In addition, mastalgia negatively
affects women's quality of life.
