Technologies for Health Education for the Deaf: Integrative Review

Abstract

Objective: investigate the scientific evidence on the technologies that are used for health education for deaf people. Method: integrative review carried out in October 2017, with the publications of the last 15 years, in the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS via Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science and Scopus. Results: we found 3367 articles, of which 19 were included in the study. The predominant type of technology was video, present in ten studies and computerized technologies, such as web sites and online courses, in four studies. The topic most approached by the technologies was cancer, in ten studies and oral health in three. Two articles were methodological, in 17 the application of the technology with deaf occurred and in 16 of these the efficacy and/or viability for health education was proven. Conclusion: educational technologies are mostly videos that are comprehensible to deaf people and effective for use in health education.

Information about COVID-19 for deaf people: an analysis of Youtube videos in Brazilian sign language

Tecnologia da informação e comunicação na gestão de grupos de pesquisa em enfermagem

“…This model for recruiting participants for research demonstrates that, over time, the research groups develop new methods, models and theories with the support of telecommunications, in order to enhance the infrastructure already available, aiming at new applications and services. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The supporting software programs for data analysis can be described as a research data management strategy, as they exercise the function of systematically and quickly organizing data storage, management and recovery. Although the software programs are important for these processes, the analytical capacity of the researcher is indispensable to conduct analytical thinking and scientific research.…”

“…4 The previous literature on the content suggests research studies that address the theme of technology in various themes and specialties in the health area, comparing the use of more than one technological resource and evaluating the primary and secondary outcomes of the technologies used in education in the long run. 5 However, studies specifically related to the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies in the management of Nursing research groups were not identified.…”

“…Dentre as tecnologias educativas descritas na literatura, com a finalidade de ofertar cuidados baseado em resultados eficazes, destaca-se o vídeo educativo, como uma ferramenta mais utilizada por esta população, devido à sua dinamicidade, apresentando benefícios no processo de ensino-aprendizagem (9) . Assim, com o intuito de enfocar as relações inter e intrapessoais numa perspectiva positiva da deficiência, a fim de transmitir conteúdo com equidade de informação, esse estudo fundamentou-se na Teoria da Aprendizagem proposta por Vigotski.…”
