“…5 An early study showed that 68% of men and 66% of women with FM also reported pelvic pain symptoms. 4 In a twin study that controlled for genetic and environmental confounding approximately 23% of twins with chronic widespread pain and 11% of their pain-free co-twins reported urinary tract problems. 9 Although to our knowledge the overlap between CP/CPPS and FM has not been directly examined, 1 group noted that 21% of individuals with CP/CPPS symptoms reported a history of musculoskeletal, rheumatological or connective tissue diseases 11 and another observed a trend toward higher manual tender point examination scores in patients with CP/CPPS vs controls.…”

“…They attributed these results to the fact that working women still form a minority group in their region, and studies are mostly conducted on the housewives due to reasons such as failure to allocate adequate time for these studies. In one of the studies conducted in the health care professionals, Waylonis et al [19] examined incidence of FMS among members of different profession groups and reported that, out of the 321 persons diagnosed with FMS, 20% is composed of people working at general office jobs, 14% is composed of heath care personnel, 11% of them is composed of teachers and 8% is composed of the unemployed. Ratio found among health care personnel in such study is higher than that we found in our study, yet sub-group of health care personnel has not been established.…”

ÖzetAmaç: Fibromiyalji sendromu (FMS); yaygın ağrı, yorgunluk ve uyku bozukluğu ile seyreden kronik bir hastalıktır. Biz çalışmamızda üniversite ve eğitim hastanelerinde günlük pratiğin önemli bir öğesi olan asistan hekimlerde (AH) FMS sıklığını, bu sıklığın çalışılan bölüm, yaş ve asistanlık süresi ile ilişkisini saptamayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi'nde çalışan AH'ler çalışmaya alındı ve çalışma formunu doldurmaları istendi. FMS tanısında ACR 2010 tanı kriterleri kullanıldı. Çalışma-ya 102 AH katıldı. AH'lerden cerrahi bölümde çalışanlar Grup 1'i, dahili bilimlerde çalışanlar Grup 2'yi oluşturuyordu. Bulgular: Grup 1'deki AH'lerden 5 tanesi, Grup 2'deki AH'lerden 4 tanesi FMS tanısı aldı (%8.82). FMS tanısı alan AH sayısı arasında her iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu ( p=0,550). SSS skorunda Grup 1'de istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yük-seklik tespit edildi (p=0,030). FMS tanısı ile çalışılan bölüm, yaş ve asistanlık süresi arasında bir korelasyon tespit edilmedi. Tartışma: Çalışmamıza göre AH'lerde FMS sıklığı, toplumda görülme oranının üzerinde bulunmuştur ve AH yaşı, çalışılan bölüm ve asistanlık süresi ile ilişkisi tespit edilmemiştir. Tıp fakültesi ve eğitim hastanelerinde bu durumun bilinmesi ve önlem alınması, hizmet ve eğitim kalitesini daha fazla yükseltebilir. Anahtar KelimelerAsistan Hekim; Fibromiyalji Sendromu; Hastane Abstract Aim: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disease accompanied by widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disorders. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of FMS in assistant physicians (AP) and to establish the relationship between the frequency of FMS and factors such as department where physician works at, age and duration of work. Material and Method: APs working in local university hospital were included in the study and they were asked to fill out the study forms. FMS diagnosis, ACR 2010 diagnosis criteria were used for FMS diagnosis. A total of 102 AP participated in the study. AP, surgical department, employees in group 1, group 2 were the internal department employees. Results: 5 AP from Group 1 and 4 AP from Group 2 were diagnosed with FMS (the frequency is 8.82% (within the 2 groups). Group 1 had significantly higher mean score of SSS compared to Group 2. No correlation was established between FMS diagnosis and department where one works at, age and assistant period. Discussion: According to our study, FMS frequency in AP was found to be higher than the prevalence found in general population and no correlation was found between FMS and factors such as age, department where one works at and assistant period. Awareness of this fact at the schools of medicine and taking precautions may increase quality of service and education.

“…Finally, psychiatric stressors may worsen the handicap resulting from subjective tinnitus. Depression 64 and fibromyalgia 65 have been found to associate with and exacerbate chronic tinnitus. It should be noted that subjective tinnitus generally differs from auditory hallucinations observed in psychotic disorders by the nature of the perceived sound; tinnitus generally manifests as a more simple ringing or humming, whereas auditory hallucinations tend to involve more complex sounds or speech 66 .…”
