To assess whether a conscientious personality profile is more prevalent in patients with Ménière's disease (MD) in comparison with other vertigo patients. Second, to investigate a sex effect and compare the obtained conscientiousness scores with published normative values.
A total of 108 patients were included and subdivided into one of five pathology groups: MD, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular neuritis, vestibular schwannoma, and posttraumatic nonbenign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
The conscientiousness domain of the self-reporting NEO Five-Factor Inventory questionnaire.
Conscientiousness score.
There was no significant difference between the diagnostic groups or a sex effect. MD patients had a higher score than published normal values.
As assessed with the NEO Five-Factor Inventory questionnaire, MD patients do not demonstrate a higher conscientious personality profile in comparison with other vertigo patients. Therefore, this limits the clinical use of the personality profile to discriminate between patient groups.
评估与其他眩晕患者相比，梅尼埃病（MD）患者中尽责性人格特征是否更为普遍。其次，研究性别效应，并将获得的尽责性得分与已发表的常模值进行比较。
共纳入108例患者，并将其分为五个病理组之一：梅尼埃病、良性阵发性位置性眩晕、前庭神经炎、前庭神经鞘瘤和创伤后非良性阵发性位置性眩晕。
采用自陈式NEO五因素问卷的尽责性分量表。
尽责性得分。
各诊断组之间或性别效应方面均无显著差异。梅尼埃病患者的得分高于已发表的正常值。
根据NEO五因素问卷评估结果，与其他眩晕患者相比，梅尼埃病患者并未表现出更高的尽责性人格特征。因此，这限制了人格特征在区分患者群体方面的临床应用。
