To explore the receipt of mental health education, assessment, and referrals, and mental health service use among individuals with vestibular disorders. Patients with vestibular disorders living in the US, Australia, Canada, and the UK were surveyed through social media forums. Questionnaires assessed demographics, anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7), depression (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression-10), dizziness (Dizziness Handicap Inventory), and type of professional providing mental health education, assessment, referral, and treatment. The 226 participants were largely White (90%), educated (67% holding an associate's degree or higher) women (88%) with an average age of 45 who self-identified as having chronic vestibular symptoms (78%), as opposed to episodic ones (22%). Fifty-two percent reported never receiving verbal education, written education (69%), mental health assessment (54%), or referral (72%). Participants were more likely to receive mental health treatment in the past if they had received verbal resources and/or referrals from clinicians. The majority of patients with vestibular disorders report that medical professionals have not provided education, mental health assessment, or a mental health referral.
探讨前庭疾病患者接受心理健康教育、评估、转诊情况以及心理健康服务的使用情况。通过社交媒体论坛对居住在美国、澳大利亚、加拿大和英国的前庭疾病患者进行了调查。问卷评估了人口统计学特征、焦虑(广泛性焦虑障碍量表-7)、抑郁(流行病学研究中心抑郁量表-10)、头晕(头晕残障量表)以及提供心理健康教育、评估、转诊和治疗的专业人员类型。226名参与者大多为白人(90%)、受过教育(67%拥有副学士学位或更高学历)的女性(88%),平均年龄45岁,自我认定有慢性前庭症状(78%),而非发作性症状(22%)。52%的人报告从未接受过口头教育、书面教育(69%)、心理健康评估(54%)或转诊(72%)。如果参与者曾从临床医生那里获得口头资料和/或转诊,那么他们过去更有可能接受心理健康治疗。大多数前庭疾病患者报告称,医学专业人员未提供教育、心理健康评估或心理健康转诊服务。
