Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy intervention (ICBT) for individuals with tinnitus had an indirect effect on the third-party disability noticed by significant others (SOs).

Methods: Significant Others Questionnaire (CTSOQ). Individuals with tinnitus completed standardized self-reported outcome measures for tinnitus severity, anxiety, depression, insomnia, hearing-related quality of life, tinnitus cognitions, hearing disability, and hyperacusis.

Results: In total, 194 pairs of individuals with tinnitus and their SOs participated. The impact of third-party disability experienced by SOs was significantly reduced after individuals with tinnitus undertook the ICBT intervention (d = 0.41). This reduced SOs with severe difficulties from 52% to 35%. The remaining impact was mild for 30% and moderate for 35%. SOs with higher baseline difficulties and SOs who were partners (e.g., spouses) were less likely to notice indirect benefits from intervention undertaken by their family members. There was a moderate positive correlation between the post-intervention CTSOQs and the clinical variables of tinnitus severity and depression.

Conclusions: Third-party disability may be reduced as an indirect effect of individuals with tinnitus undertaking ICBT. Including SOs of individuals with tinnitus within the rehabilitation process may add additional benefits, and such involvement should be encouraged.

基于互联网的干预措施对耳鸣患者重要他人的第三方残疾的间接影响》（The Indirect Effect of an Internet-based Intervention on Third-Party Disability for Individual Others with Tinnitus）。

研究背景本研究旨在探讨基于互联网的认知行为治疗干预（ICBT）是否对耳鸣患者的重要他人（SOs）注意到的第三方残疾有间接影响：重要他人问卷（CTSOQ）。方法：重要他人问卷（CTSOQ），耳鸣患者完成标准化的自我报告结果测量，包括耳鸣严重程度、焦虑、抑郁、失眠、与听力相关的生活质量、耳鸣认知、听力残疾和听觉障碍：共有 194 对耳鸣患者和他们的助听器参加了调查。耳鸣患者在接受 ICBT 干预后，听力残疾对其配偶的影响明显降低（d = 0.41）。这使得有严重困难的自闭症患者从 52% 减少到 35%。其余影响为轻度的占 30%，中度的占 35%。基线困难程度较高的 SO 和作为伴侣（如配偶）的 SO 不太可能注意到其家庭成员所采取的干预措施带来的间接益处。干预后的CTSOQs与耳鸣严重程度和抑郁的临床变量之间存在中度正相关：结论：耳鸣患者接受 ICBT 的间接影响可能会减少第三方残疾。将耳鸣患者的社会工作者纳入康复过程可能会带来更多益处，因此应鼓励社会工作者参与其中。
