What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the BETY-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in individuals diagnosed with myositis. Myositis affects muscles, skin, joints, and internal organs, and can impact physical and sexual function as well as quality of life. The study focuses on the holistic assessment of symptoms including mood and social factors, addressing the need for tools that capture these complex effects in myositis management. Participants will complete the BETY-BQ, a questionnaire developed to assess biopsychosocial aspects such as pain, coping, mood, and sleep. This observational study involves questionnaire application without drug or device interventions. The study aims to validate and measure the reliability and responsiveness of BETY-BQ over a three-month period in people with myositis. During the study, participants will undergo several assessments including the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Myositis Disease Activity Assessment Tool, Health Assessment Questionnaire, and various physical function tests like the Hand Dynamometer and Timed Up and Go Test. Researchers will monitor changes over three months to understand quality of life and symptom variation. The study is sponsored by Hacettepe University and will last through December 2026.
