Abstract

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.

前庭失调患者的心理健康教育和使用情况。

探讨前庭功能障碍患者接受心理健康教育、评估和转介的情况，以及心理健康服务的使用情况。我们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障碍患者进行了调查。问卷评估了人口统计学、焦虑（广泛性焦虑症-7）、抑郁（流行病学研究中心抑郁-10）、头晕（头晕障碍量表）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 名参与者大多是白人（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，她们自认为有慢性前庭症状（78%），而不是偶发症状（22%）。52%的人称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%）。如果参与者过去曾接受过临床医生的口头教育和/或转介，那么他们更有可能接受心理健康治疗。大多数前庭功能障碍患者表示，医疗专业人员没有提供过教育、心理健康评估或心理健康转介。

期刊介绍： Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers related to all areas of the science and practice of psychologists in medical settings. Manuscripts are chosen that have a broad appeal across psychology as well as other health care disciplines, reflecting varying backgrounds, interests, and specializations. The journal publishes original research, treatment outcome trials, meta-analyses, literature reviews, conceptual papers, brief scientific reports, and scholarly case studies. Papers accepted address clinical matters in medical settings; integrated care; health disparities; education and training of the future psychology workforce; interdisciplinary collaboration, training, and professionalism; licensing, credentialing, and privileging in hospital practice; research and practice ethics; professional development of psychologists in academic health centers; professional practice matters in medical settings; and cultural, economic, political, regulatory, and systems factors in health care. In summary, the journal provides a forum for papers predicted to have significant theoretical or practical importance for the application of psychology in medical settings.
