ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Patients may be afraid when they receive knowledge that medications are injected into the middle ear through the tympanic membrane using a fine needle during intratympanic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of video-assisted information prior to intratympanic steroid injection on patient anxiety. STUDYDESIGN:
Prospective, Non-randomized, controlled trial.SETTING:
Tertiary academic medical center.METHODS:
A total of 85 patients who had an indication for intratympanic treatment due to idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus were included in this prospective study. 40 cases received video-assisted information before intratympanic steroid injection in the study group, while 45 cases were verbally informed face-to-face in the control group. Then, patient anxiety was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).RESULTS:
The mean VAS score was 3.58 ± 3.37 (mean rank = 42.09) in the study group and 3.87 ± 3.56 (mean rank = 43.81) in the control group. The mean STAI-S score was 37.03 ± 10.637 in the study group and 39.11 ± 11.783 in the control group. The mean STAI-T score was 40.18 ± 9.151 in the study group and 38.73 ± 11.438 in the control group. It was found that there were no statistically significant differences in the mean VAS, STAI-S and STAI-T scores between the two groups (p > 0.05).CONCLUSION:
We revealed that video-assisted information prior to intratympanic steroid injection had no superiority in reducing anxiety over face-to-face verbal information.Palavras-chave
