Abstract :Objectives: Chronic neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases. This pain may negatively affect the quality of sleep, quality of life, and psychological status of individuals. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pain level and quality of life, quality of sleep, and psychological status in patients with chronic neck pain. Materials And Methods: Seventy-three female n=56 and male n=17 patients mean age 47.04±13.54 years with chronic neck pain were included in the study. Pain severity was evaluated by McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire MMPQ , quality of sleep was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI , quality of life was evaluated by Short Form-36 SF-36 , depression level was evaluated by Beck Depression Inventory BDI , and anxiety level was evaluated by Beck Anxiety Inventory BAI . Results: The pain level score of the patients was found 32.12±16.86; sleep quality score was severe 7.24±3.11 ; SF-36 physical function component score was low 71.23±20.52 ; SF-36 pain component score was low 57.32±17.30 ; depression and anxiety level scores were mild 10.50±7.73, 15.00±10.14, respectively . There was a negative correlation between the level of pain of patients and sleep quality and a positive correlation between the level of pain of patients and SF-36 pain component score and anxiety level.
