Orientação ao usuário de prótese auditiva: retenção da informação

Abstract

RESUMOIntrodução: Diferentes informações são transmitidas ao novo usuário de prótese auditiva, em um curto período de tempo. O usuário necessita entender e reter tais informações para subsequente recuperação e ação, assegurando o uso apropriado do dispositivo. Objetivo: Verificar a retenção de informações sobre a perda auditiva e uso/cuidados com a prótese auditiva em novos usuários destes dispositivos. Analisar se existe influência de dados demográficos e audiológicos neste processo. Método: Estudo prospectivo. Participantes: 30 deficientes auditivos (18 mulheres e 12 homens) com idades entre 18 e 88 anos. Foram oferecidas orientações verbais apoiadas com uso de ilustrações no momento do diagnóstico audiológico e adaptação da prótese auditiva. Houve treino de manipulação da prótese. Três semanas após a adaptação foi realizada a avaliação da retenção da informação sobre a perda auditiva (evocação livre) e uso/cuidados com a prótese (evocação auxiliada). A manipulação das próteses também foi avaliada. As respostas e observações do avaliador foram anotadas em um protocolo específico e pontuadas. Resultados: Em média os participantes retiveram, respectivamente, 31,6% e 83,6% das informações sobre a perda auditiva e uso/cuidados com a prótese auditiva. Houve diferença significativa da retenção de informação sobre a perda auditiva entre adultos e idosos. Não houve correlação entre a retenção de informação com o grau da perda auditiva, escolaridade e nível sócio econômico. Conclusão: Faz-se necessária à utilização de estratégias que facilitem e melhorem a retenção da informação sobre o diagnóstico audiológico, uso e cuidados com a prótese auditiva para novos usuários deste dispositivo. Palavras-chave: audição, perda auditiva, aconselhamento, auxiliares de audição. SUMMARYIntroduction: Different informations are transmitted to the new user of the hearing aid, in a short period of time. The user needs to understand and retain the information to subsequent recovery and action, ensuring the proper use of the device. Objective: check the information retention about the hearing loss and use/care with the hearing aid in new users of these devices. Examine whether there is influence of demographic data and audiologic. Method: Prospective study. Participants: 30 hearing impaired (18 women and 12 men), aged between 18 and 88 years. Were offered verbal orientation supported with ilustrations at the time of audiological diagnosis and adaptation of the hearing aid. There was practice for manipulation of the prosthesis. Three weeks after the adaptation, was performed a evaluation of the retention of information about hearing loss (free recall) and use/care with the prosthesis (aided recall). The manipulation of the prosthesis was also evaluated. The responses and comments of the evaluator were noted in a specific protocol and scored. Results: On average the participants retained, respectively, 31,6% and 83,6% of informations about hearing loss in adults and elderly. There was no correlation between the retention of information with ...

Capacitação de agentes comunitários de saúde na área de saúde auditiva infantil: retenção da informação recebida

“…This finding is consistent with results reported in a previous study 22 , which shows that individuals have a greater ability to retain concrete information than abstract information. The conceptual aspects on hearing and hearing impairment represent the basis for CHWs to perform their technical/practical work in hearing health effectively, since they need this study, the questionnaire focused on the task of information recognition, since it was constituted by statements that the participant should judge as true or false, i.e., developed contents were presented in the questions, which may have been a facilitator for evocation of the correct answer.…”

“…Thus, adult education is self-directed and should be organized according to situations of life / work, instead of content unit 25 . Other factors that could influence the retention level would be age, socioeconomic status and education, however, no significant correlations between education and level of information retention, as well as socio-economic status and the level of information retention were observed in a previous study conducted with patients in the area of Audioloy 22 . Demographic aspects were not analyzed in this study due to sample homogeneity, since the participants were in the same age range, occupation and level of education.…”

“…The analysis of studies related to the retention of information transmitted to patients in other areas of health [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] as well as in Audiologia 21,22 , showed loss of the information provided by health professionals and that, some patients evoked erroneous information regarding their health condition.…”

“…Parallel to that, there are studies that affirm the need of strategies that help the users with the learning of this information 10 . Within this context, it has emerged the preoccupation to investigate the skills in open fit manipulation of elderly people, since public services towards hearing health, recently, show a significant percentage of elders using the open fit hearing aid, for it is highly recommended for fulfilling the needs of this specific population and by the fact that during the adaptation process, the orientation regarding the use of the open fit hearing aid usually happen in a reduced time, since the time open to the public is often limited.…”
