• People want to take responsibility for their health
Self-help programmes:
– aim to reduce tinnitus distress
– offered outside of the medical consultation
– provide some of the same (or complementary) benefits to
traditional clinical intervention
Evaluating self-help programmes

• Commissioning guidelines recommend using self-help programmes
HOWEVER
• Very little detail provided
• No high-level evidence on what works best and who gains most benefit
Evaluating online programmes - Make suggestions for improvements
There are several self-help programmes available for tinnitus
Evaluating self-help programmes

1. What intervention techniques are used
within self-help interventions for adults with
tinnitus?
2. Do self-help interventions effect people’s
health and well-being?

A psychological model of tinnitus
![Page 14: Nottingham Hearing Biomedical Research Unit Kathryn · PDF file10/06/2014 A multi-disciplined approach to tinnitus research Nottingham Hearing Biomedical Research Unit Kathryn Fackrell](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5aa9f7187f8b9a95188d8796/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A psychological model of tinnitus
Now Recruiting…
Contact Lucy Hanscomb: [email protected]
Aims:
• Is it accurate? Multiple questionnaires to test all
components of model and their interactions
• Is it useful? Ask patients and clinicians about the model
Why is this important?
• Which elements to focus on?
• Is the model useful as a counselling
tool?

The importance of questionnaires
WHY?
A diagnostic tool
Crucial to client-centred and evidence-based practice
• To determine treatment candidacy with equal patient
access to treatments
• To provide patient feedback
An outcome measure
Demonstrates clinical effectiveness
• To facilitate clinical audit - inform commissioners
Evidence of improvements
• Justifies resource allocation
• To ascertain key standards of best practice for tinnitus

How do we know whether a treatment
works?

Diagnostic tool & measure of change of tinnitus distress
Validating a new tinnitus questionnaire:
Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI)
Does the questionnaire compare to
others tinnitus questionnaires?
Does the questionnaire reflect
what it is measuring?
Does the questionnaire reliably show
changes that occur over time?
Is there a grading system?
