目的了解日本耳鼻喉科医生对听力测试显示方式可理解性的看法，了解耳鼻喉科医生对听力测试认知过程的特点。方法对543名日本耳鼻喉科医生进行横断面调查。在收到问卷的543名耳鼻咽喉科医生中，有137人回答了问题。在分析中，使用的样本大小为112名参与者。问卷内容涉及耳鼻咽喉科医生的职业特点，并对5种显示形式的4个可理解性方面进行了评价。结果临床耳鼻喉科医生表示，数字表格中每个频率的时间流逝和阈值变化都是普通的或难以理解的。有丰富电子病历使用经验的耳鼻喉科医生中，超过60%的人表示，在图表上叠加的阈值中，时间的流逝和阈值的变化都是可以理解的。我们的结果表明，在听力测试的大多数方面，在图表上覆盖阈值而不是数字表格或多维图表是计算机化听力测试显示格式的主要选择。
ObjectiveThe present study aimed to elucidate opinions regarding comprehensibility of audiometry display formats among otolaryngologists in Japan, and to identify the characteristics of otolaryngologists’ cognitive processes for audiometry.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional nationwide questionnaire-based mail survey regarding the comprehensibility of audiometry display formats among 543 Japanese otolaryngologists. Of 543 otolaryngologists to whom the questionnaires were mailed, 137 replied to the questions. For the analysis, the sample size used was 112 participants. The questionnaire contained questions regarding the otolaryngologists’ occupational characteristics, and assessed their opinions of four comprehensibility aspects of five display formats.ResultsOtolaryngologists in clinics indicated that the passage of time and changes in thresholds of each frequency in numeric tables were ordinary or incomprehensible. More than 60% of otolaryngologists with extensive experience in using electronic medical records indicated that both, the passage of time and change in the thresholds in overlaid thresholds on a chart were comprehensible.ConclusionsDisplay formats in audiometry influenced the comprehension of pure tone audiometry data. Our results suggest that overlaid thresholds on a chart rather than numeric table or multi-dimensional charts are the primary choice for computerized audiometry display formats in most aspects of audiometry.
