Abstract
Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt vecuma vājdzirdības ietekmi uz depresijas simptomu izteiktību senioriem. Bakalaura darbā tika izpētīti sēkojoši pētījuma jautajumi: 1) Vai pastāv saistība starp vājdzirdību un depresijas simptomu izteiktību senioriem? 2) Vai vājdzirdība prognozē depresijas simptomu izteiktību senioriem? 3) Vai pastāv depresijas simptomu izteiktības atšķirības senioriem atkarībā no vājdzirdības pakāpes? Pētījumā piedalījās 55 respondenti, kas ir vecumā no 65 līdz 89 gadiem (M=77,82), 33 (60%) sievietes un 22 (40%) vīrieši. Pētījumā tika izmantoti divi instrumenti: subjektīvā tīra toņa audiometrija atsevišķi labajai un kreisajai pusei un Pacientu veselības aptauja-9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke et al., 2001). Visas aptaujas tika izdalītas respondentiem personīgi un respondenti tās aizpildīja individuāli. Datu apstrādē tika izmantota SPSS programmas 19. versija. Datu kvantitatīvā analīze tika veikta, izmantojot aprakstošo statistiku, Pīrsona korelāciju analīzi, vienkāršās lineārās regresijas analīzi, vienfaktora dispersiju analīzi (ANOVA). Saistība starp vājdzirdību un depresijas simptomu izteiktību senioriem nepastāv. Vājdzirdība neprognozē depresijas simptomu izteiktību senioriem. Depresijas simptomu izteiktības atšķirības senioriem atkarībā no vājdzirdības pakāpes nepastāv, tomēr tiek novēroti pastiprināti miega traucējumi senioriem ar izteikti smagu vājdzirdības pakāpi un izteiktākas kustību un runas ātruma izmaiņas senioriem ar vidēji smagu vājdzirdības pakāpi.
The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of age-related hearing loss on the severity of depression symptoms in seniors. The following research questions were investigated in the bachelor's thesis: 1) Is there a relationship between hearing loss and the severity of depression symptoms in seniors? 2) Does hearing loss predict the severity of depression symptoms in seniors? 3) Are there differences in the severity of depression symptoms in seniors depending on the degree of hearing loss? The study included 55 participants aged 65 to 89 years (M = 77.82), 33 (60%) women and 22 (40%) men. Two measurements were used in the study: subjective pure tone audiometry and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke et al., 2001). The questionnaire was distributed to the participants personally and the participants filled them in individually. SPSS version 19 was used for data processing. Quantitative analysis of the data was performed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis, One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). There is no association between hearing loss and the severity of depression symptoms in seniors. Hearing loss does not predict the severity of depression symptoms in seniors. There are no differences in the severity of depression symptoms in seniors depending on the degree of hearing loss, however, increased sleep disturbances are observed in seniors with profound hearing loss and more expressed changes in movement and speech speed are observed in seniors with moderately severe hearing loss.
