Analysis were applied using q-square, t-test, Oneway Annova tests and descriptive statistical methods in SPSS20,0programme.

The only statistically significant relationship between sociodemographic characteristics was between gender and types of IBS. Accordingly, constipation (IBS-C) was more common in women and diarrhea(IBS-D) was more common in men(p=0.018). Scores in the physical and environmental quality of life domains of the WHOQOL index and total scores were higher in men (p=0.04, p=0.002, p=0.007). There was a significant relationship in the physical domain scores of housewives and blue-collar workers compared to other occupational groups (p<0.001).

Abstract
Amaç: İrritabl bağırsak hastalığı (İBS) tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye'de de yaygın olarak görülmekte, ancak sıklıkla atlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada irritabl bağırsak hastalığı olan hastaların tanı, takip ve iyilik halleri ile şikayetlerinin yaşam kaliteleri üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği polikliniklerine gastrointestinal sistem şikayeti ile başvuran 202 gönüllü hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Çalışma prospektif bir çalışmaydı. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik durumları, Roma III Tanı Kriterleri ve WHOQOL yaşam kalitesi indekslerinden oluşan değerlendirme formu araştırmacı tarafından yüz yüze anket yöntemi kullanılarak kaydedildi. Analizler yapılarken ki-kare, t-testi, Oneway Annova testleri ve tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak yapıldı. SPSS20,0 paket programı analizler sırasında kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu kadın populasyondan oluşmaktaydı (n=146, %72,3). Sosyodemografik özellikler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı tek ilişki cinsiyet ile irritabl bağırsak hastalığı tipleri arasındaydı. Bu sonuca göre kadınlarda kabızlık (IBS-C), erkeklerde ise diyare (IBS-D) daha fazlaydı (p=0.018). WHOQOL indeksinin fiziksel ve çevresel yaşam kalitesi alanlarındaki puanları ve toplam puanları erkeklerde daha yüksekti (p=0.04, p=0.002, p=0.007). Ev kadınlarında ve mavi yakalılarda fiziksel alan puanlarında diğer meslek gruplarına göre anlamlıydı. (p<0.001).
Sonuç İBS başka klinik olaylarla karıştırılabilen ve günlük yaşam kalitesini etkileyebilen bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalıkta sadece fiziksel şikayetleri olmadığı, aynı zamanda sosyal çevresel ve ruhsal şikayetleri de olabileceği bilinmelidir.
