Resumo(s)
The knowledge of the clinical aspects that could be related with Quality of Live (QoL) of tinnitus patients should be important when the care procedures where organized. It was used a Sociodemographic and Clinical questionnaire, and the Portuguese version of SF-36v2 in 74 tinnitus patients: 34 men; M=55,63 years (PD=13,65; 18-79) and M=8,42 years of schooling (PD=4,54; 4-18). As it was confirmed that is a normal distribution, t test was applied. The time with the complaint, where is perceived and the type of tinnitus where not related with the dimensions of SF-36v2. The QoL was related with hyperacusis (Vitality - VT and Mental Heath – MH), dizziness (Physical function – PF; Role functioning/physical – RF; General Health; VT; and Role functioning/emotional – RE;), existence of “nervous problems” (VT; Social functioning; RE; MH) and hearing level (RF), with values of p<0,033. In our sample, we realized that the presence of hyperacusis, dizziness and worse hearing level and the presence of nervous problems, where related with a compromised QoL. These results, combined in a clinical profile related to worse QoL, in tinnitus patients, can be an important contribution for programing more efficient intervention programs in this patients.
