Abstract
Objective: To investigate the psychological status of anxiety and depression in patients with idiopathic tinnitus, and to analyze its relative factors. Method: One hundred and sixty seven patients with idiopathic tinnitus were assessed by Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) and general condition questionnaire. Patients with anxiety or depression were reassessed after corresponding treatment for 6 weeks. Result: Fifty-five patients(32.93%) were in anxiety state and 43 patients(25.75%) were in depression state. Twenty-seven patients(16.17%) were in both anxiety and depression state. The multivariate logistic regression analysis found that the incidence of anxiety and depression in patients with idiopathic tinnitus were related to sleep disorders, course of disease and THI score(P<0.05). Treatment scores(SAS and SDS) were statistically significantly different between pre- and post-treatment(P<0.01). Conclusion: The anxiety and depression state is highly prevalent in idiopathic tinnitus patients and is related to course of disease, severity of tinnitus and sleep disorders. In clinical practice, we should pay close attention to the psychological status of patients with idiopathic tinnitus, and take timely psychological intervention.
