Abstract

Background: High levels of environmental noise may lead to psychological symptoms. The present study has hypothesized that personal listening device (PLD) use and a negative attitude to noise are significantly related to anxiety and/or depression.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 431 six-grade students (35% male) at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade. All students completed the questionnaires related to socio-demographic data, noise/music exposure habits, behaviors related to PLD use, tinnitus, headaches, consumption of alcohol, coffee, energy drinks and cigarettes, YANS (Youth Attitude to Noise Scale), CES-D (The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression), and GAD-7 (Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment - 7 item scale) questionnaires.

Results: There were 396 (91.9%) of investigated students who used PLD, with more frequent use among girls compared to boys (95.0% and 86.8%, respectively; p = 0.002). We found no significant relationship between the frequency of PLD use and depression and anxiety. However, continuous daily PLD use longer than 1 hour was significantly and positively related to depression (p = 0.006). Students with depression had a lower total YANS score compared to those without depression, indicating a more negative attitude toward noise (p = 0.042). Students with no difficulties to concentrate in noise and with a positive attitude to daily noises had about 37% lower chance to suffer from depression and anxiety, respectively.

Conclusions: PLD use is common among medical students and may be associated with their mental health. Longer than 1 hour of continuous daily use of PLD may be positively related to depression. We also found a significant relationship between difficulties concentrating in noisy environments and depression, and between negative attitudes to daily noises and anxiety.

医学生个人听力设备的使用和对噪音的态度与抑郁和焦虑的关系。
背景:高水平的环境噪声可能导致心理症状。本研究假设个人听力设备(PLD)的使用和对噪音的负面态度与焦虑和/或抑郁显著相关。方法:这是一项对贝尔格莱德大学医学院431名六年级学生(35%为男性)进行的横断面研究。所有学生都完成了与社会人口统计数据、噪音/音乐暴露习惯、PLD使用相关行为、耳鸣、头痛、饮酒、咖啡、能量饮料和香烟、YANS(青少年对噪音的态度量表)、CES-D(流行病学研究中心抑郁症)和GAD-7(广泛性焦虑症评估-7项量表)相关的问卷调查。结果:396名(91.9%)被调查学生使用PLD,其中女孩使用PLD的频率高于男孩(分别为95.0%和86.8%) = 0.002)。我们发现PLD的使用频率与抑郁和焦虑之间没有显著关系。然而,每天持续使用PLD超过1小时与抑郁症呈显著正相关(p = 0.006)。与没有抑郁症的学生相比,患有抑郁症的学生的YANS总分较低,这表明他们对噪音的态度更加消极(p = 0.042)。在噪音中不难集中注意力和对日常噪音持积极态度的学生患抑郁症和焦虑症的几率分别降低约37%。结论:PLD的使用在医学生中很常见,可能与他们的心理健康有关。每天持续使用PLD超过1小时可能与抑郁症呈正相关。我们还发现,在嘈杂的环境中难以集中注意力与抑郁之间,以及对日常噪音的负面态度与焦虑之间存在显著关系。

期刊介绍: Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
