Quais são os efeitos do exercício físico na autoeficácia e autoestima de pacientes com síndrome da fibromialgia: revisão sistemática

Abstract

The literature presents references that point to the positive effects of physical exercise for patients with the rheumatic disease fibromyalgia, however, when it comes to self-efficacy and self-esteem, studies in the literature do not present a consensus as they do not specifically delve into the topic. The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of physical exercise on the self-efficacy and self-esteem of patients with fibromyalgia through a systematic review. The search was carried out in 2023 through the database of three platforms: PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. In total, 239 articles were recruited from the databases, after removing duplicates, 204 were analyzed and 187 excluded by title and abstract, 17 articles were read in full and 13 were selected for the present review. It is concluded after analyzing these articles that physical exercise has the potential to be beneficial in the self- efficacy and self-esteem of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.
