Research project

The role of acceptance in adjustment to Ménière’s disease

Project overview

A patient’s level of “acceptance” has been found to be a critical factor in the treatment of people with chronic conditions. However, no research has yet been done to measure the levels of acceptance in people with Ménière’s disease, and suitable questionnaires to carry out such work have not yet been developed.

The aim of this study is to create and pilot a questionnaire to measure “vertigo acceptance" and use it to assess the relationship between acceptance and adjustment in people with Vertigo and Ménière’s disease.
