“…Some studies indicate that although late implanted pre-lingual adolescents develop less speech recognition skills, most of them report satisfaction [7,8]. However it has not been definitively demonstrated that the gain obtained with cochlear implants in pre-lingually deafened adolescents is sufficient to help these patients convert their mode of communication from visual to oral mode only.…”

“…Internal consistency and homogeneity coefficients were between 0.94 and 0.96 (Aydemir & Koroglu, 2000) and 0.86 and 0.92 (Oner, 1997) for SAI, and between 0.83 and 0.87 (Aydemir & Koroglu, 2000) and 0.83 and 0.92 (Oner, 1997) for TAI. The scale has been used in many Turkish research studies (Basol, Duygu, & Gökbakan, 2014; Dastan & Buzlu, 2011; Demir & Khorshid, 2010; Fidan, Ceyhun, & Kirpınar, 2011; Gurhan, Akyuz, Atici, & Kisa, 2009; Gurkan, Gulseven, & Eren, 2013; Ilhan, Demirbas, & Dogan, 2007; Issever, Ozdilli, Altunkaynak, Onen, & Disci, 2008; Kilic et al, 2015; Kocabas, 2013; Tasci, Guleser, Tokmakci, Eroglu, & Kaplan, 2012; Yucel & Sennaroglu, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among Turkish primary health care workers' socio-demographic characteristics, working conditions, and anxiety. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 88 of 103 (85.4%) eligible health care workers from the city of Mugla participating. The participants' average age was 31 years, 85.2% were university graduates, 30.7% were nurses, and 64.8% had been working between 11 and 20 years at the time of the study; 93.6% worked 8 hours each day or less. State anxiety scores for males (p = .016), health care workers age 31 or older (p = .035), nurse participants (p = .043), and individuals who had worked 11 or more years (p = .044) were significantly higher than the rest of the sample; however, trait anxiety scores for participants who did not work overtime and were not scheduled for shift work were significantly higher (p = .033 and p = .004, respectively) than the rest of the sample. According to the logistic regression analysis, risk factors for anxiety included being male and older than 31 years.

“…This study was based on the premise that adult users experience psychological benefits after cochlear implantation (Yucel and Sennaroglu, 2007). Adolescents with cochlear implants did not score significantly differently on the measure of anxiety when compared with normally hearing adolescents, which may indicate that they were as emotionally stable as their hearing peers.…”

Whilst much research has focused on the general health needs of adolescents, little is known about the specific needs of teenagers who wear cochlear implants. Thus it is important to widen the knowledge base regarding the experiences of this population, and to assist professionals to support this age group more effectively.This qualitative study investigated teenage cochlear implant users' perceptions of deafness, surgery, fitting of the device and life as a cochlear implant wearer in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of teenagers' experiences of living with a cochlear implant by putting their perspectives at the heart of the research. This was achieved by working with the teenagers collaboratively throughout the research.Phase one of the study involved engaging with a small group of teenagers with cochlear implants to develop a website that would allow them to share their experiences. In phase two, ten semi-structured interviews were undertaken and nine were analysed using template analysis. Some teenagers experienced great preoperative anxiety and significant post-operative pain. Anxiety and pain are physiologically linked so strategies for reducing their anxiety are discussed. There was also a mismatch between their expectations and the disappointing reality of adjusting to the device. Disconfirmation-expectancy theory suggests that expectations counselling may narrow this gap. However, over time they experienced significant functional and psychosocial benefits as a result of their lives being easier. Almost all described complex, flexible identities where they felt connections with both the hearing and deaf world. Theoretical models of deaf identity support this 'bicultural' state. However, the hearing world sometimes posed difficulties for them when the listening environment was challenging. By giving prominence to the teenagers' voices this study has added new knowledge concerning their experience of surgery. The findings also more fully revealed the challenges of adjusting to the device and the impact of having a cochlear implant on the teenagers' identities.ii iii
