TINNITUS PERSPECTIVES AMONG PHYSICIANS OF KAZAKHSTAN
Introduction. Recent research in the field of tinnitus shows an increase in the incidence, which is associated with lifestyle changes in people. Despite the growth, there is a lack of guidelines for the management of patients with tinnitus. Also, attention is paid to the importance of doctors' awareness of tinnitus and teamwork in providing care to patients with tinnitus.
The aim is to study the experience of physicians in the management of patients with tinnitus.
Methods. We developed a questionnaire that was distributed among ENT doctors and neurologists in Kazakhstan. The survey was conducted through WhatsApp chats of doctors. The survey was conducted in a Google form, as well as in a paper version. The survey period was the second half of 2022.
Results. Most of the ENT specialist consider tinnitus as audiological problem, and less psychological. Physicians identify most of patient experienced tinnitus for more than three months and tinnitus is associated with its laterality, and concomitant dizziness. Both types of specialists had the least associated anxiety or depression. To better management of patient with tinnitus there is necessary to develop internet site as well as advanced training among specialist.
Conclusion. Our results showed the need for training of physicians of different specialties in the management of patients with tinnitus, which in the future will improve the provision of teamwork.
