Abstract

Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by diffuse pain and tender points on digit pressure. The importance of this syndrome is its impact on quality of life. One possible influencers of this impact may be the low resilience of patients. Objectives: To measure the resilience in patients with FM; to measure the quality of life in patients with FM; and to relate and compare the degree of resilience with demographic and socioeconomic varieties and quality of life. Material and methods: Data collection was performed at the Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic of the Conjunto Hospitalar de Sorocaba. Demographic and social data questionnaire, Wagnild and Young resilience scale, and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire were applied. For the analysis it was used the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Twenty-six women were studied, mean age of 47.7±11.6 years and average schooling of 8.2 years of study. There was a predominance of patients with low resilience. The statistical analysis did not observe any parameter (age, pain intensity, FM impact or quality of life) that correlates moderately or strongly with the degree of resilience. Conclusion: FM patients followed at a tertiary care setting have low degree of resilience, high impact of FM and poor quality of life.
