ABSTRACT

One of the major complaints of patients for consulting primary healthcare providers is shoulder pain. The most common causes of this problem are subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). The aim of the current study was to evaluate the hopelessness status of women with myofascial shoulder pain and to compare them with women suffering from traumatic pain. The prospective study design was used in the current study, 60 women were assigned equally to Myofascial group (group M), a group where women complain of shoulder pain, palpable, and tender myofascial trigger points, and 30 women who sustained traumatic shoulder pain in the control group (group T). Beck Hopelessness Scale was used to detect the hopelessness level. Mann Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. P <0.05 was considered significant. The results showed that the mean was a statistically significant difference between the groups regarding hopelessness state (7.4) for the myofascial group and (3.8) for the traumatic group, P <0.05. Hopelessness status of women with myofascial shoulder pain should be acknowledged because women may need social and psychological support in addition to medical treatment to overcome their complaints.

Keywords: Mann Whitney U; musculoskeletal pain; shoulder injuries; women's groups

Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menilai status keputusasaan para wanita dengan sakit bahu miofascia dan untuk membandingkan mereka dengan wanita yang mengalami penderitaan sakit traumatik. Reka bentuk kajian prospektif  telah digunakan untuk kajian ini. Enam puluh (60) wanita telah dipilih secara sama rata untuk mewakili kumpulan miofascia (kumpulan M), kumpulan wanita yang mengadu sakit bahu, terpalpatkan dan titik pencetus miofascia lembut dan 30 wanita yang mengalami sakit bahu trauma mewakili kumpulan terkawal (kumpulan T). Skala ‘Beck Hopelessness’ telah digunakan untuk mengesan tahap putus asa. Ujian U Mann-Whitney telah digunakan untuk analisis statistik. P <0.05 dianggap sebagai nilai bererti. Keputusan menunjukkan nilai min mempunyai perbezaan statistik yang ketara antara kumpulan-kumpulan mengenai keadaan putus asa (7.4) untuk kumpulanmiofascia dan (3.8) untuk kumpulan trauma, P <0.05. Status putus asa daripada wanita dengan sakit bahu miofascia sepatutnya diakui kerana wanita mungkin memerlukan sokongan dari segi sosial dan psikologi dan juga rawatan perubatan untuk mengatasi aduan mereka.
