OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this preliminary investigation was to explore the relationship between personality and adherence to voice rest in individuals following phonosurgery for benign mucosal or submucosal/lamina propria lesions. We hypothesized that adherence to voice rest would be inversely related to Extraversion and directly related to Conscientiousness, two superfactor traits of the Big Five personality model.
This was a prospective, longitudinal, cohort study.
Twenty-five patients (eight men, 17 women; mean age = 46.25 years; SD = 14.38) of Houston Methodist Hospital's Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery underwent microflap phonosurgery. Each participant provided demographic information, completed the Ten Item Personality Inventory (a brief Big Five personality instrument), and wore a vocal dosimeter to objectively measure voice rest adherence during a seven-day, postoperative period.
The participants' mean personality scores were higher than reported norms across all Big Five traits. Contrary to our hypotheses, (1) Extraversion related directly to voice rest adherence, and (2) no other personality traits (including Conscientiousness) related to voice rest adherence.
Although extraverts have been described as talkative, assertive, and outgoing, we found that high Extraversion was related to less vocalizing during the voice rest period. Our results are compatible with the health psychology literature that describes a positive relation between Extraversion and adherence to preventive healthcare practices. Future research should employ a larger, single-sex sample, potentially with greater similarity between patient diagnoses. Clinically, such data could inform counseling approaches to facilitate voice rest adherence and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
目的/假设：本初步调查旨在探讨在因良性黏膜或黏膜下/固有层病变接受喉显微外科手术后，个体的人格与噤声依从性之间的关系。我们假设噤声依从性与外向性呈负相关，与尽责性呈正相关，外向性和尽责性是大五人格模型中的两个超级因子特质。
这是一项前瞻性纵向队列研究。
休斯顿卫理公会医院耳鼻咽喉头颈外科的25名患者（8名男性，17名女性；平均年龄 = 46.25岁；标准差 = 14.38）接受了显微瓣喉显微外科手术。每位参与者提供了人口统计学信息，完成了十项人格量表（一种简短的大五人格测量工具），并佩戴了嗓音剂量计以客观测量术后七天内的噤声依从性。
参与者在所有大五人格特质上的平均人格得分均高于报告的常模。与我们的假设相反，（1）外向性与噤声依从性直接相关，（2）没有其他人格特质（包括尽责性）与噤声依从性相关。
尽管外向者被描述为健谈、自信和外向，但我们发现高外向性与噤声期较少发声有关。我们的结果与健康心理学文献一致，该文献描述了外向性与预防保健实践依从性之间的正相关关系。未来的研究应采用更大的单性别样本，患者诊断之间可能具有更大的相似性。在临床上，这些数据可为咨询方法提供参考，以促进噤声依从性并可能改善手术结果。
