耳鸣严重程度与焦虑的相关性研究

The relationship between tinnitus severity and anxiety

目的:研究耳鸣严重程度与焦虑的相关性,探讨其在耳鸣康复中的作用。方法:对以耳鸣为第一主诉就诊的119例患者,用耳鸣一般情况问卷表、耳鸣残疾量表(THI)和焦虑自评量表(SAS)进行横断面调查,分析其相关性。结果:THI得分和SAS得分正相关(r=0.573,P<0.01),THI得分分级和SAS得分正相关(r=0.551,P<0.01)。耳鸣严重程度越高,焦虑得分越高。结论:耳鸣严重程度与焦虑呈中度正相关性,对以耳鸣为第一主诉且其THI得分分级≥中度(即≥38分)的耳鸣患者,应注意了解其焦虑程度,进行必要的心理干预,有助于耳鸣患者的康复。

Objective：To evaluate the correlation between tinnitus severity and anxiety experienced by patients in order to explore its role in the rehabilitation of the tinnitus.Method：A total of 119 patients complaining of tinnitus were recruited in a cross-sectional survey.Correlation was studied by series of instruments including tinnitus general questionnaire,tinnitus handicap inventory（THI） and self-rating anxiety scale（SAS）.Result：Significant correlations between THI and SAS scores（r=0.573,P〈0.01）,and between THI classification and SAS scores were shown（r=0.551,P〈0.01）.Conclusion：There was a moderate positive correlation between tinnitus severity and anxiety.If a patient reports a THI greater than 38,the otolaryngologist should supplement diagnostic studies with a psychological consultation.
