    Effects of Smartphone Overuse on Headache, Sleep and Quality of Life in Migraine Patients
    (Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital, 2019) Demir, Yasemin P.; Sumer, Mehmet M.
    Objectives: To investigate the effects of smartphone overuse on headache, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and quality of life in migraine patients. Methods: This study is a single-center, cross sectional comparative study. This study was conducted between July and September 2017 in the Neurology Clinic of a private hospital. Migraine disability assessment MIDAS) questionnaire was used to evaluate the disability status, and Mobile Phone Problematic Use Scale (MPPUS) was used to evaluate smartphone use frequency. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), 24-h Migraine Quality of Life Questionnaire (24-h MQoLQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were used to evaluate the pain intensity, quality of life, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness, respectively. Results: The study included a total of 123 patients. There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of pain intensity; frequency and duration as well as VAS, PSQI, 24-h MQoLQ and ESS (p<0.05) scores. There was a negative correlation between MPPUS and PSQI (r=-0.367, p<0.05); a strong positive correlation between MPPUS and ESS (r=0.675, p<0.05) and a negative correlation between MPPUS and 24-h MQoLQ (r=-0.508, p<0.05). Conclusion: Smartphone use has been observed to increase headache duration and frequency in migraine patients. Its overuse in migraine patients is related to poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness; furthermore, as the smartphone use increases, sleep quality decreases, daytime sleepiness increases and quality of life decreases.

    Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Translation of Pedsql™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
    (Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital, 2019) Alemdaroglu-Gurbuz, Ipek; Uluğ, Naime; Bulut, Numan; Bozgeyik, Sibel; Ulug, Naime; Arslan, Selen S.; Yilmaz, Oznur; Karaduman, Ayse; Uluğ, Naime
    Objectives: To perform the Turkish translation, reliability, and validity study of the PedsQL (TM) -3.0 Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PcdsQL-MFS) in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study was held in Hacettepe University, Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation between January 2016-August 2018. Turkish translation of the PedsQL-MFS was conducted based on the steps addressed in the translation manual of the original research. The psychometric features of the Turkish version of PedsQL-MFS including feasibility, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, construct, and criterion-related validity as well as parent/child agreement were investigated on a total of 71 children and their parents. Results: The mean age of boys with DMD included in the study was 102.94 +/- 23.23 months with a mean 17.15 +/- 2.98 BMI. Internal consistencies of Child Self Report General Fatigue, Sleep/rest Fatigue, and Cognitive Fatigue items were 0.74, 0.65, and 0.83 while. 0.89, 0.84, and 0.91 in Parent Proxy Report. The ICC values of Child Self Report and Parent Proxy Report were 0.87 and 0.91. respectively. Parent Proxy Report succeded more acceptable fit indices than Child Self Report. A statistically significant correlation was found between PedsQL-MFS and PedsQL-Neuromuscular Module (p<0.05). Moderate agreement was detected between parent and child. Conclusion: The Turkish version of PedsQL-MFS was determined to be a reliable and valid tool to evaluate fatigue in 5-12 years old, ambulant children with DMD.
