Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that involves multiple symptoms, including widespread musculoskeletal pain, emotional and cognitive problems, and adjustment difficulties. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) has been widely used, even if little data exist on its use in patients with fibromyalgia. A sample of 301 patients with fibromyalgia was studied, analyzing the goodness of the questionnaire andX its structure. High anxiety levels (= 1.5), social dysfunction (= 1.56) and somatic symptoms of GHQ-28 (= 1.67) were obtained. The reliability is adequate (Cronbach's α = .94) and the factor structure of four factors analyzed conforms to that proposed by the authors of the questionnaire. The conclusion is that GHQ-28 has been useful to explore the psychological symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia.
