Abstract

Objective

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the February 6, 2023, earthquakes in Turkey and recurrent aftershocks on balance and post-traumatic stress in surviving victims.

Methods

Our study included 1004 participants aged 18–65 years who were exposed to the February 6 earthquakes and aftershocks in Turkey. After obtaining online consent from all participants, the Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS), the Dizziness Handicap Index (DHI), and the Posttraumatic Post-Traumatic Disorder Checklist Scale (PCL-5) were administered online, and the interactions between the variable sets were examined using a correlational screening model.

Results

As a result of the structural equation model established with the observed variables, it was found that VSS total scores had a statistically significant positive effect on PCL-5 (β1 = 0.56; p = 0.001 < 0.05). In addition, statistically significant positive high-level correlations were found between VSS and DHI (cov_VSS-DHI = 0.71), and a positive low level correlation with the number of days with dizziness (cov_{VSS-number of days with dizziness} = 0.34), and a positive low level correlation with frequency of days with dizziness (cov_{VSS-frequency of days with dizziness} = 0.37). A statistically significant positive low-level relationship was found between DHI and the number of days with dizziness (cov_{DHI-number of days with dizziness} = 0.34) and a positive low-level correlation between DHI and the frequency of days with dizziness (cov_{DHI-frequency of days with dizziness} = 0.29).

Conclusion

The structural equation modeling analysis showed that post-traumatic stress disorder had a significant effect on balance and dizziness.

土耳其卡赫拉曼马拉什 2023 年地震对平衡感、头晕和创伤后应激反应的影响：主观平衡问题与创伤后应激之间的关系筛选模型

本研究旨在调查 2023 年 2 月 6 日土耳其地震和反复发生的余震对幸存灾民的平衡能力和创伤后应激反应的影响。在征得所有参与者的在线同意后，对他们进行了眩晕症状量表（VSS）、头晕障碍指数（DHI）和创伤后应激障碍核对表量表（PCL-5）的在线测试，并使用相关筛选模型对变量组之间的相互作用进行了研究。结果通过观察变量建立的结构方程模型发现，VSS 总分对 PCL-5 有统计学意义上的显著正向影响（β1 = 0.56; p = 0.001 < 0.05）。此外，在 VSS 和 DHI 之间发现了具有统计学意义的高水平正相关（covVSS-DHI = 0.71），与头晕天数呈低水平正相关（covVSS-头晕天数 = 0.34），与头晕天数频率呈低水平正相关（covVSS-头晕天数频率 = 0.37）。结论结构方程建模分析表明，创伤后应激障碍对平衡和头晕有显著影响。

期刊介绍： The international journal Auris Nasus Larynx provides the opportunity for rapid, carefully reviewed publications concerning the fundamental and clinical aspects of otorhinolaryngology and related fields. This includes otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, allergology, head and neck medicine and oncologic surgery, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, audiology, speech science. Original papers, short communications and original case reports can be submitted. Reviews on recent developments are invited regularly and Letters to the Editor commenting on papers or any aspect of Auris Nasus Larynx are welcomed. Founded in 1973 and previously published by the Society for Promotion of International Otorhinolaryngology, the journal is now the official English-language journal of the Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. The aim of its new international Editorial Board is to make Auris Nasus Larynx an international forum for high quality research and clinical sciences.
