Subjektif Tinnitus Algısının COVID-19’a İlişkin Psikolojik Faktörler ile İlişkisinin Değerlendirilmesi
Öz
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, pandemi sürecinde kronik subjektif tinnitus hastalarında tinnitus gürlüğü, tinnitusun yarattığı sıkıntı ve engellilik algısının koronavirüse ilişkin anksiyete, psikolojik sıkıntı ve korku düzeyi ile ilişkisini incelemek ve bu süreçte uykusuzluk şiddeti, sosyal ve duygusal yalnızlık algısı değişkenlerinin tinnitusa etkisini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kronik tinnitus tanısıyla İki merkezde takip edilen 18 yaş üstü toplam 112 hastaya pandemi sürecinde Google Forms aracılığıyla demografik bilgi formu, Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS) for tinnitus loudness and annoyance, Tinnitus Engellilik Envanteri (THI), Koronovirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği (CAS), Koronavirüs Korku Ölçeği (FCVS-T), COVID-19 Psikolojik Sıkıntı Ölçeği (CORPD), Uykusuzluk Şiddeti İndeksi (ISI) ve SELSA-S Sosyal ve Duygusal Yalnızlık Ölçeği uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: CAS puanı ile VAS for tinnitus loudness and annoyance, FCVS-T, ISI, Selsa-S toplam puanları arasında; FCVS-T puanı ile VAS for annoyance, CORPD ve ISI puanları arasında; CORPD puanı ile THI ve ISI puanları arasında pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde anlamlı korelasyon saptanmıştır (p<0,05). VAS ile Selsa-S sosyal yalnızlık alt boyut ölçek ve THI puanları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki vardır (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Pandemide psikolojik faktörlerde ve algılanan yalnızlık düzeyi ile uykusuzluk şiddetindeki artış tinnitus algısında kötüleşme yarattığı için, bu süreçte hastaların yönetiminde psikolojik destek ihmal edilmemeli ve hastalar yakın takipte olmalıdır.

An Evaluation of the Relationship between Subjective Tinnitus Perception and COVID-19-Related Psychological Factors
Öz
Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship of tinnitus loudness, annoyance and handicap in tinnitus patients with the level of coronavirus-related anxiety, psychological distress, and fear. It was also aimed to evaluate the effects of insomnia severity and social and emotional loneliness perception on tinnitus in the pandemic period.
Materials and Methods: A total of 112 patients over the age of 18 who were followed up in two centers with the diagnosis of chronic subjective tinnitus were included in the study. During the pandemic, the data were collected using the following tools via Google Forms: Demographic Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for tinnitus loudness and annoyance, the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), Fear of COVID Scale (FCVS-T), COVID-19 related Psychological Distress Scale (CORPD), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA-S).
Results: A weak positive correlation was found between CAS score and VAS for tinnitus loudness and annoyance, FCVS-T, ISI, Selsa-S total scores; between FCVS-T score and VAS for annoyance, CORPD, ISI scores; and, between CORPD and THI, ISI scores (p<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between VAS and Selsa-S "social loneliness" sub-dimension scale, THI scores (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Psychological support should not be neglected in the management of tinnitus patients in the pandemic period, and tinnitus patients should be followed closely, since the increase in psychological factors and the perceived loneliness level and the severity of insomnia in the pandemic cause a worsening in the perception of tinnitus.
