“…It is worth to mention that the items related to the Oralism dimension had the strongest correlation with negative attitudes. This dimension is characterized by focusing on the development of oral language, where the Deaf person must learn to speak and/or adapt to the hearing society, ruling out the use of SL [1,37] This is a worrying situation, as the Chilean Law on Disability recognized the Sign Language as the natural means of communication for the Deaf community [2,38] However, SL access have not been implemented in healthcare services in Chile [2].…”

“…This community has its own language, customs, values, and, therefore, its own culture: Deaf Culture, and they call themselves "Deaf" with a capital "D". Sign Language (SL), their most significant cultural element, differs from spoken languages at a phonological, syntactic and grammar level and varies according to the region [1][2][3][4][5]. Currently, SL has been recognized in more than 30 countries [5].…”

To assess the attitudes of health professionals towards Deafness and its association with sociodemographic and Deaf contact experience. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Concepcion, Chile. The sample size was estimated in 171 health professionals. The following variables were considered: sociodemographics, Deaf contact experience, and attitudes to deafness scale (ADS scale). To evaluate the association between the variables, t-test and Spearman correlation test were used (p<0.05). Results: People who had taken a LSCh course had significant more positive attitudes towards item 1 "Deaf people should learn to lipread", with a 2 points difference and in persons who do not know a Deaf person, with 1-point difference. Also, persons who have received some kind of formation in Deafness have a better attitude in item 3 "I would like to have more Deaf friends" with 1-point difference. An inverse correlation was observed within age (rho =-0.237; p=0.0014), years of academic service (rho =-0.323; p<0.0001) or PHC service (rho =-0.1085; p=0,364). Conclusion: The attitude of health professionals towards Deafness was neutral. This attitude is not modulated by sex, type of profession, type of relationship with Deaf people, type of training in hearing disability, Chilean Sign Language Courses or degree of frequency of healthcare delivery to Deaf patients. However, it is modulated by age and years of service.

Health care of people with visual or hearing disabilities Visual or hearing disabilities account for 20% of people reporting some sort of disability. We performed a literature review about the interaction that people with visual or hearing disabilities have with the health care system. We found that these people report a lower quality of life and have a higher frequency of physical and psychological ailments. They also have difficulties to obtain an adequate health care and report a paucity of trained professionals to take care of them.
