Objective: Alexithymia, a personal trait characterized by difficulty in identifying feelings, is common among chronic pain patients. In our study, we aimed to assess alexithymia in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), to determine its association with clinical parameters and depression, and to analyze its impact on the quality of life. Methods: A total of 70 patients with FM and 40 age-and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study. Alexithymia was assessed using the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) was used for measuring disease severity. The quality of life was evaluated using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and depression by the Beck Depression Scale (BDS). The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used for determining pain severity. Results: The prevalence of alexithymia was 24.29% in FM patients and 7.5% in controls. It was higher in patients with FM than in controls [Odds ratio (OR)=3.96, confidence interval (CI) 95% (1.08-14.48)] (p=0.028). FM patients scored significantly higher in TAS-20 than the controls (p<0.

Education institutions must implement Islamic character education on a massive scale immediately. This study aims to describe the concept and implementation of character education in educational institutions to address student association issues without delay. This investigation is library-based (library research). The obtained data were then analyzed with a hermeneutic approach through content analysis. This study concludes that the concept of character education has been taught in Islam for quite some time. The verses of the Qur'an and hadith explain this. Similar to Surah Luqman verses 17 and 18, as well as the hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari and Muslims from the path of Abdullah bin Amr bin Ash's companions. Implementing Islamic character education in educational institutions can be categorized initially by age range, from early childhood to adolescence. To evaluate the success of Islamic character education in specific educational institutions, class-based, school-based, and community-based Islamic character education must be implemented. The implication for educational institutions is a greater emphasis on Islamic character education beginning at a young age so that students develop Islamic character. This study contributes to advancing and implementing Islamic character education in educational institutions.
