Resumen

Este estudio examina la utilidad de un diario electrónico (DE) en el seguimiento de las manifestaciones clínicas de la fibromialgia (FM) frente a los tradicionales autoinformes de lápiz y papel. Catorce mujeres con FM completaron una entrevista, varios cuestionarios y un DE durante una semana (varias veces al día) registrando dolor, fatiga, sueño, dificultad para pensar, malestar emocional, dificultad en el funcionamiento diario, afrontamiento de la enfermedad, y estrés. No hubo diferencias en los síntomas a lo largo de los momentos del día, observándose una latencia del sueño de 45,36 minutos y una duración del sueño de 6,25 horas. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre las medidas del DE dependiendo de la hora del día, y entre las medidas del DE y los cuestionarios. El DE demostró ser útil para la evaluación de la sintomatología de la FM y puede ser un componente clave en los programas de intervención psicológica.
