Brief summary

Patients suffering from fibromyalgia (FM) are challenged by symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance and emotional distress. Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia can also negatively affect the relatives they live with due to their existing complaints. It is possible that their relatives accompanying them may lose their workforce due to untreated pain complaints and frequent hospital admissions. The main purpose of our study is to examine whether there is any impact on the working life of the people they live with and whether there is a decrease in their work productivity.

Detailed description

This cross-sectional study will evaluate FM patients and their relatives, who are in paid full- or part time employment at the time of the assessment. The study protocol doesn't require any medical intervention. Fibromyalgia severity will be assessed with the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ). Evaluation of patient relatives' work productivity and activities will be made with the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire: General Health (WPAI:GH). Analyzes will be completed with a group of healthy controls in the study.
