Introduction:
Behçet’sDisease(BD) isachronic,inflammatory,
rheumatic disease that is characterized by mucocutaneous
lesions and can be seen major organ involvement such as
eyes, musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal system and
central nervous system. Impaired quality of life, aerobic
capacity, respiratory function and life satisfaction, sleep
disorders, depression, anxiety and fatigue are seen commonly
in BD patients like the other rheumatic diseases. Considering
that regular physical activity effects survival for patients
and healthy people, it is important to determine the factors
affecting physical activity level and exercise barriers. The
aim of this study is to investigate physical activity level and
exercise barriers in patients with BD.
Methods:
Twenty-eight patients were included in the study.
Physical activity level, exercise barriers, fatigue, depression,
pain, quality of life and aerobic capacity were evaluated with
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Exercise
Bariers and Benefits Scale (EBBS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS),
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS),
Behçet’s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (BDQoL) and 6
minutes walk test, respectively.
Results:
According to our results, 46.4% of patients were
physically inactive and 42.8% of patients were moderate
active. There was a significantly correlation between physical
activity score and exercise barriers (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
Aswithotherrheumaticdiseases,forSLEpatients’
rehabilitation, exercise is of great importance because of its
positive contribution to the musculoskeletal system.Thinking
of negative affects of physical inactivity, patients with Behçet
disease should be encouraged to exercise. Also, reasons of
physical inactivity should be investigated an treated.
