Abstract:
BackgroundStress is closely related to migraine attacks, however, previous studies on stressors, stress responses and their impact on the daily life of college students with migraine remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of stressors and stress responses on the daily life of college students with migraine, in order to provide references for improving daily life of this population. MethodsFrom August 2018 to August 2019, 458 students from North Sichuan Medical College who met the International Classification of Headache Diseases third edition (ICHD-3), were selected using random sampling method. General data and headache characteristics were collected. The 6-item Headache Impact Test Questionnaire (HIT-6) was used to assess the impact of migraine on daily life. Student-Life Stress Inventory (SLSI) was used to assess the stressors and stress responses. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24) were used to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms. Pearson correlation analysis were used to examine the relationship between HIT-6 score and scores on various scales. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors on daily life in college students with migraine. ResultsIn the SLSI, stressors in the dimensions of frustration (r=0.138, P<0.01), conflict (r=0.168, P<0.01), pressure (r=0.157, P<0.01), change (r=0.148, P<0.01), self-imposed (r=0.158, P<0.01) , as well as physiological response (r=0.256, P<0.01), emotional response (r=0.241, P<0.01), behavioral response (r=0.164, P<0.01), HAMA total score (r=0.192, P<0.01), dHAMD-24 total score (r=0.250, P<0.01), and SLSI total score (r=0.250, P<0.01), were positively correlated with HIT-6 score. Cognitive response (r=-0.104, P<0.05) was negatively correlated with HIT-6 score. Stepwise multiple linear regression revealed that physiological response (β=0.140, P<0.05), anxiety (β=0.159, P<0.05), and cognitive response (β=-0.091, P<0.05) could predict the impact on daily life of college students with migraine. ConclusionPhysiological response, cognitive response and anxiety may be the independent influencing factors on the daily life of college students with migraine.
