Abstract

La fibromialgia es un síndrome que incluye síntomas como dolor generalizado musculoesquelético, problemas emocionales y cognitivos, así como dificultades de adaptación. El Cuestionario General de Salud (GHQ-28) ha sido ampliamente usado, aunque apenas existen datos sobre su utilización en pacientes de fibromialgia. Se han estudiado 301 pacientes de esta patología, analizándose la bondad del cuestionario y su estructura y obteniéndose altos niveles en ansiedad M=1.5), disfunción social (M=1.56) y síntomas somáticos del GHQ-28 (M=1.67). La fiabilidad es adecuada (α de Cronbach = .94). La estructura factorial analizada de cuatro factores se ajusta a la propuesta por los autores del cuestionario. Se concluye que el GHQ-28 ha sido útil para explorar la sintomatología psicológica en los pacientes de fibromialgia.

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that involves multiple symptoms, including widespread musculoskeletal pain, emotional and cognitive problems, and adjustment difficulties. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) has been widely used, even if little data exist on its use in patients with fibromyalgia. A sample of 301 patients with fibromyalgia was studied, analyzing the goodness of the questionnaire and its structure. High anxiety levels (M = 1.5), social dysfunction (M= 1.56) and somatic symptoms of GHQ-28(M = 1.67) were obtained. The reliability is adequate (Cronbach's α = .94) and the factor structure of four factors analyzed conforms to that proposed by the authors of the questionnaire. The conclusion is thatGHQ-28 has been useful to explore the psychological symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia.
