Aspectos psicológicos da síndrome da fibromialgia juvenil: revisão de literatura
Open accessAbstract
A síndrome da fibromialgia juvenil (SFJ) é uma condição dolorosa não inflamatória crônica que ocorre principalmente em meninas entre nove e 15 anos. Pode ser caracterizada por dores generalizadas e constantes em várias regiões do corpo, distúrbios do sono, fadiga diurna e estado de humor alterado. Fatores psicológicos e biológicos concomitantes resultaram na diminuição da capacidade de lidar com a dor. A qualidade de vida das crianças que sofrem de dores crônicas, e a de seus cuidadores, é severamente prejudicada e a ocorrência de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão é mais comum nessa população. Este estudo objetivou fazer uma revisão sistemática da literatura dos fatores psicossociais relacionados com a SFJ. Os achados revelam uma percepção divergente entre pacientes e parentes em relação aos efeitos da condição. As mães dos pacientes tendem a classificar a doença com uma gravidade maior do que os próprios pacientes. Os pacientes com fibromialgia parecem compartilhar os mesmos traços de personalidade e parece existir um tipo de ambiente familiar favorável à ocorrência da doença. As implicações psicológicas e funcionais devem ser tratadas com métodos que ajudem pacientes e parentes a modificar suas estratégias de enfrentamento dos problemas cotidianos, a aliviar as consequências disfuncionais da dor e da fadiga e a diminuir o risco de catastrofização. Juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome (JFMS) is a non‐inflammatory chronic pain condition that occurs mainly in girls aged nine to 15 years. JFMS is characterized by constant widespread pain in different parts of the body, poor sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and an altered mood. Concomitant psychological and organic factors result in a diminished capacity to cope with pain. The quality of life of individuals with chronic pain and their caregivers is severely restricted and the occurrence of symptoms of anxiety and depression is common in this population. The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature on psychosocial factors related to JFMS. The findings reveal differences in opinion between patients and family members regarding the effect of the condition, as mothers tend to classify JFMS as more severe than the patients themselves. Individuals with JFMS seem to share the same personality traits and there seems to be a type of family environment that is favorable to the occurrence of this condition. Psychological and functional aspects should be treated with methods that can help patients and family members alter their coping strategies regarding day‐to‐day problems, attenuate the dysfunctional consequences of pain and fatigue and diminish the risk of catastrophizing that individuals submitted to constant pain develop in relation to their surrounding environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
