Özlem Taşkapilioğlu et al. Noro Psikiyatr Ars. 2013 Aug.

Abstract
in English, Turkish

Quality of life is the perception of an individual's position in life associated with his objectives, expectations, interests, and standard's of life. Health-related quality of life, on the other hand, includes satisfaction with his health and emotional reaction to his state of health. Primary headaches are encountered commonly in adults during their most productive years like end of puberty and at the beginning of 50's. Migraine alone is responsible for 1.3% of years with disability in the world, all headaches together being responsible for twice of this load. Headaches both worsen quality of life of individuals and place a significant burden on the society. This review will focus on the effects of primary headaches, especially migraine, on quality of life and tools used to evaluate these effects.

Yaşam kalitesi, kişinin kültür ve değerler sistemi içinde amaç, beklenti, ilgi alanı ve standartları ile ilişki olarak yaşamda bulunduğu yeri algılama şeklidir. Sağlıkla ilişkili yaşam kalitesi ise kişinin sağlık durumundan memnuniyetini ve sağlık durumuna verdiği duygusal yanıtı içerir. Primer başağrıları, erişkinlerin en üretken olduğu ergenlik sonu ve 50’li yaşların başı arasında sıkça karşılaşılan durumlardır. Tüm dünyada özürlülükle geçen yılların %1.3’ünden tek başına migren, bu yükün yaklaşık iki katından da tüm BA hastalıkları hep beraber sorumludur. Başağrısı hem kişinin yaşam kalitesini bozmakta hem de topluma ciddi maddi yük getirmektedir. Bu derlemede, hastalık yükünün primer başağrısının, özellikle migrenin, kişinin yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisi ve bunun değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan ölçütler gözden geçirilecektir.

Keywords: Headache; migraine; quality of life.
