Determination Physical Activity Levels,Quality Life,Depression and Fatigue Severity Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome

Individuals who were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and volunteered to participate in the study will be included in our study. The number of individuals was determined according to the power analysis. G*Power (version 3.1.9.4) package program was used for power analysis. As a result of the power analysis made assuming that the effect size that can be obtained between the two groups will be large (d= 0.451 (EFFECT YOU), at least 214 people were included in the study (at least 107 people for each group)) at a 95% confidence level (with a margin of error of 0.05). It was calculated that 95% power could be obtained.After determining the number of individuals, the same number of normal healthy individuals who were not diagnosed with metabolic syndrome will be included in the study as the control group.Scales will be used to determine physical activity levels, Quality of life, Depression and Fatigue Severity in the control and study groups. Physical activity The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to assess the level of life, SF-36 will be used to assess their quality of life, the Beck Depression Scale will be used to determine depression levels, and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) will be used to assess the severity of fatigue.

Demographic information (name, surname, age, education level, occupation, marital status, background, family history, disease history, medication, smoking and alcohol use, regularly used drugs) of the individuals who will participate in the study will be recorded in the patient evaluation form.

The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to assess the level of physical activity, the SF-36 will be used to assess their quality of life, the Beck Depression Scale will be used to determine depression levels, and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) will be used to assess the severity of fatigue.

International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ): Physical activity level will be assessed with the short version of the IPAQ. The walking duration of the individuals in the last 1 week will be determined in terms of MET-minutes/week, whether they did moderate and severe PA, and if they did, how many days per week and total minutes they did. As a result, all values are added together to determine the total IPAQ score and will be categorized as inactive, minimally active, and very active.

Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (SF-36) Form: It was collected with Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (SF 36). The Quality of Life Scale is accepted and applied as an individual's quality of life assessment scale. SF-36 was developed by Hays, Wells, Sherbourne, Rogers, and Spritzer (1995), and its Turkish reliability and validity study was performed by Koçyiğit, Aydemir, Ölmez, Fişek, and Memiş (1999). The SF-36 is a self-report scale and examines eight dimensions of health with 36 items, such as physical functioning, social functioning, role difficulties (physical and emotional), mental health, vitality (vitality), pain, and general perception of health. The scale provides an evaluation between zero and 100, and a higher score indicates a better level of health.

Beck Depression Inventory (BDI): It is a self-assessment scale applied to healthy and psychiatric patient groups. Its purpose is to determine the risk for depression and to measure the level and severity of depressive symptoms. This form, which includes a total of 21 self-evaluation scales, provides a four-point Likert type measurement. Each item gets an increasing score between 0-3 and the total score is obtained by summing them up. A high total score indicates a high level of depression severity. It was developed by Beck et al. and adaptation, validity and reliability studies were conducted for the Turkish population. In the Turkish validity and reliability article of the scale, the cut-off point was determined as 17.

Fatigue Severity Scale (FAS): In the evaluation of the fatigue levels of the individuals, the Turkish validity and reliability of the TLS was used. This scale consists of nine items. Each item is scored between 1 and 7, and as the total score decreases, so does fatigue.

The data will be analyzed with the SPSS package program. Appropriate statistical analysis will be made.

After the data are obtained, it is aimed to evaluate the results and write a scientific thesis and publish it in an international journal.
