Effect of Community-Based Nursing Interventions on Quality of Life in Pregnant Women With Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a long-term, complex disorder marked by widespread pain in the muscles and joints, ongoing fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and cognitive difficulties, all of which can significantly disrupt daily activities and reduce overall quality of life. Women with fibromyalgia who become pregnant often encounter increased challenges, as the physical, emotional, and social demands of pregnancy can exacerbate their symptoms. This combination frequently results in heightened pain, more severe fatigue, greater sleep disturbances, increased anxiety, and a decline in overall psychological well-being, potentially leading to negative outcomes for both the mother and baby . Pregnancy brings a distinct set of difficulties for women with fibromyalgia, as bodily changes, hormonal shifts, and heightened physical requirements may worsen symptoms like generalized pain, tiredness, and sleep problems . These complications can influence the health of both the expectant mother and her baby. Providing nursing care in such cases calls for advanced expertise to effectively manage these complexities and uphold the well-being of both mother and fetus .
