Physical activity, physical exercise and positive psychology in fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, a disease of unknown aetiology, is characterised by the presence of chronic pain, stiffness, fatigue and sleep disturbances, leading to significant functional limitations as well as increased demand for healthcare and burden for relatives. It also affects mental health, with high rates...

It also affects mental health, with high rates of depression and anxiety. However, little research has explored the positive psychology resources, such as subjective well-being, dispositional optimism and emotional repair in women with fibromyalgia. Identifying deficits in these positive resources and finding ways to enhance them may be crucial in helping women with fibromyalgia to adapt to this incurable disease. Physical activity is a recognised determinant of health in fibromyalgia. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether this association also applies to positive psychology resources. This Doctoral Thesis aimed to improve positive psychology resources in people with fibromyalgia. Firstly, we compared the levels of positive psychology resources (subjective well-being, dispositional optimism and emotional repair) between women with fibromyalgia and age-matched controls with a case-control study. Secondly, we explored the cross-sectional association between objectively measured physical activity and positive psychology resources in women with fibromyalgia. Thirdly, we conducted a quasi-experimental study to analyse the effects of a 24-week intervention of land- and water-based exercise on positive psychology resources. Collectively, the knowledge gained from the present Doctoral thesis may help to better understand positive psychology resources in women with fibromyalgia. It was observed that women with fibromyalgia have deficits in positive psychology resources. Interestingly, we showed that to engage in higher levels of light physical activity is associated with having more positive psychology resources in women with fibromyalgia. Moreover, a physical exercise programme, regardless of land- or water-based, had no effects on positive psychology resources in women with fibromyalgia. The only exception was that positive affect increased in those who engaged in water-based exercise but this benefit was not maintained after physical exercise cessation. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Universidad de HuelvaTornero Quiñones, InmaculadaCarbonell Baeza, AnaEstévez López,, Fernando20242024-01-0120242024-01-01doctoral thesishttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_db06info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10272/27424reponame:Arias Montano.

description Fibromyalgia, a disease of unknown aetiology, is characterised by the presence of chronic pain, stiffness, fatigue and sleep disturbances, leading to significant functional limitations as well as increased demand for healthcare and burden for relatives. It also affects mental health, with high rates of depression and anxiety. However, little research has explored the positive psychology resources, such as subjective well-being, dispositional optimism and emotional repair in women with fibromyalgia. Identifying deficits in these positive resources and finding ways to enhance them may be crucial in helping women with fibromyalgia to adapt to this incurable disease. Physical activity is a recognised determinant of health in fibromyalgia. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether this association also applies to positive psychology resources. This Doctoral Thesis aimed to improve positive psychology resources in people with fibromyalgia. Firstly, we compared the levels of positive psychology resources (subjective well-being, dispositional optimism and emotional repair) between women with fibromyalgia and age-matched controls with a case-control study.
