Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients show reduced lifestyle activities, particularly linked to depression and morale. Addressing mental health is key to improving their daily functioning and social engagement.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease impacting patients' quality of life.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding lifestyle activity limitations and their contributing factors in SLE outpatients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate lifestyle activities in SLE outpatients.
  • To identify factors, including mental health status, that reduce social engagement in SLE patients.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative study involving 60 SLE patients, 30 healthy controls, and 30 patients with other autoimmune diseases.
  • Utilized the Frenchay Activity Index (FAI), Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale-Revised (MS).
  • Analyzed correlations between FAI scores and demographic/clinical factors (age, disease duration, steroid dose) and psychological scales (SDS, MS).

Main Results:

  • SLE patients exhibited significantly lower lifestyle activity scores (FAI) compared to healthy controls.
  • In SLE patients, lower morale (MS) and higher depression (SDS) correlated with reduced lifestyle activities.
  • Age, disease duration, and steroid dose did not correlate with lifestyle activity levels in SLE patients.

Conclusions:

  • Lifestyle activities in SLE patients are significantly associated with their psychological well-being and depression levels.
  • Early detection and management of mental health conditions are crucial for enhancing the lifestyle activities and social participation of individuals with SLE.
