Abstract
Background and objectives: Misophonia is a sound sensitivity disorder characterized by intense emotional and physiological responses to specific triggers. These responses are often associated with heightened reactions from the autonomic nervous system. In this study, we investigated the psychometric properties of the misophonia measurement questionnaires.
Materials and methods: A bibliographic search without publication date or language restrictions was conducted in March 2023 and updated in October 2024. The search had no time limit for the retrieval of relevant studies, including cross-sectional and psychometric studies. Two authors screened the titles and abstracts, and irrelevant studies were excluded after reviewing the full text of the articles. Any disagreements during the selection process were resolved through discussion. Standardized critical appraisal tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) tool were used to assess the psychometric properties of the instruments.
Results: Of the 130 screened articles, 34 were selected for full-text evaluation, and 25 articles met the inclusion criteria.
Conclusion: Evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the measures of misophonia is limited, indicating the need for further research to explore these instruments across various cultures and languages.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Audiology and Otology (JAO) (formerly known as Korean Journal of Audiology) aims to publish the most advanced findings for all aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear using state-of-the-art techniques and analyses. The journal covers recent trends related to the topics of audiology, otology, and neurotology conducted by professionals, with the goal of providing better possible treatment to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who suffer from auditory and/or vestibular disorders and thus, improving their quality of life. This journal encourages the submission of review papers about current professional issues, research papers presenting a scientific base and clinical application, and case papers with unique reports or clinical trials. We also invite letters to the editor and papers related to the manufacture and distribution of medical devices. This journal provides integrated views from otologists, audiologists, and other healthcare practitioners, offering readers high quality scientific and clinical information. This peer-reviewed and open access journal has been the official journal of the Korean Audiological Society since 1997 and of both the Korean Audiological Society and the Korean Otological Society since 2017. It is published in English four times a year in January, April, July, and October.
