7.9K
Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

Area of Science:

  • Medical communication
  • Public health
  • Patient advocacy

Background:

  • Hearing loss affects a substantial portion of the UK population, particularly older adults.
  • Deaf individuals experience poorer health outcomes and inequalities compared to those with conditions like asthma or diabetes.
  • Effective communication and patient engagement are crucial for improving health outcomes but are hindered by various barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight communication barriers faced by deaf patients in healthcare settings.
  • To identify challenges faced by foundation doctors in communicating with hearing-impaired patients.
  • To propose improvements for healthcare communication and patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of communication barriers.
  • Review of existing literature on health inequalities and hearing loss.
  • Exploration of challenges faced by healthcare professionals.

Main Results:

  • Significant health inequalities persist for deaf individuals.
  • Cultural, educational, and organizational barriers impede effective communication.
  • Foundation doctors often feel unprepared to manage communication with hearing-impaired patients.

Conclusions:

  • Systemic and individual adaptations are necessary to improve communication.
  • Focusing on patient care is essential for driving positive change.
  • Addressing these barriers can reduce health inequalities for the deaf population.
