ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The impact of auditory sensory deprivation in the life of an individual is enormous because it not only affects one's ability to properly understand auditory information, but also the way people relate to their environment and their culture. The monitoring of adult and elderly subjects with hearing loss is intended to minimize the difficulties and handicaps that occur as a consequence of this pathology. Objective To evaluate the level of user satisfaction with hearing aids. Methods A clinical and experimental study involving 91 elderly hearing aid users. We used the questionnaire Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life to determine the degree of the satisfaction provided by hearing aids. We evaluated mean global score, subscales, as well as the variables time to use, age, and degree of hearing loss. Results Mean global score was 4.73, the score for Positive Effects 5.45, Negative Factors 3.2, demonstrating that they were satisfied; Services and Costs 5.98: very satisfied ; 3.65 Personal Image: dissatisfied. We observed statistically significant difference for the time of hearing aid use, age, and degree of hearing loss. Conclusion The SADL is a tool, simple and easy to apply and in this study we can demonstrate the high degree of satisfaction with the hearing aids by themajority of the sample collected, increasing with time of use and a greater degree of hearing loss.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Law 12.303/10 requires hearing screening in newborns before hospital discharge to detect possible hearing problems within the first three months after birth. If the newborn fails the test or presents signs of risk for hearing loss, it must undergo a retest and monitoring during the first year of life. In practice, this often does not happen. Objective To identify, in a group of mothers of children with risk factors for hearing loss, the determining reasons for non-compliance with the auditory retest. Method This is a cross-sectional quantitative study. For data collection, we handed a semi-structured questionnaire to 60 mothers of babies at risk for hearing loss who did not attend the hearing retest after hospital discharge. The questionnaire investigated their age, education, marital status, level of knowledge about the hearing screening, and reasons for non-compliance with the retest. We compared and analyzed data using the Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05 %. Results Our study found that 63% of the respondents were unaware of the hearing screening and most did not receive guidance on testing during prenatal care; 30% of participants stated forgetting as the reason for not attending the retest. There was no significant relationship between age, education, and marital status regarding knowledge about the test and the non-compliance with the retest. Conclusion Identified as the most significant determining factors for non-compliance with the newborn hearing screening retest were the surveyed mothers' forgetting the date, and their ignorance as to the importance of retesting.

ABSTRACT

O enfoque aleitamento materno, atualmente tem o seu espaço muito bem definido sendo reconhecida a sua importância pela maioria da populaçäo. Considerando o aleitamento materno como um importante elemento da maternidade o Programa de Controle de Doenças Diarréicas do Estado reconheceu, a necessidade de promover a amamentaçäo exclusiva nos primeiros 4 a 6 meses de vida, orientando as mulheres-mäes e incentivando-as manter essa prática, para reduzir a morbimortalidade infantil. Contudo, observa-se que os profissionais preocupados com a nutriçäo e saúde materno-infantil trabalham muito a promoçäo e proteçäo ao aleitamento materno, mas em geral se esquecem do momento do desmame natural, hora também de grande importäncia física e emocional, tanto para as mäes como para os bebês. Neste trabalho busca-se realizar um estudo acerca do desmame fisiológico, suas principais condutas e problemas, tanto na literatura quanto por meio de uma pesquisa de campo realizada com mulheres-mäes atendidas no Alojamento Conjunto do Hospital de Clínicas de Curitiba, Estado do Paraná, e também junto a profissionais de saúde e funcionárias do referido hospital. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram com clareza a necessidade de melhores informaçöes à mäes, e também melhor preparo do profissional de saúde no apoio à mulheres-mäes que enfrentam dificuldades para a concretizaçäo do desmame de seus filhos. Para suprir em parte essas dificuldades, sugere-se a inclusäo nos treinamentos de aleitamento materno, orientaçöes direcionadas para a fase do desmame natural, com informaçöes mais precdisas sobre o assunto, respeitando a individualidade de cada mulher-mäe e preparando melhor os profissionais de saúde, de tal forma que os façam repensar o seu papel no que diz respeito às habilidades interpessoais importantes e necessárias na relaçäo terapêutica oferecendo um suporte adequado dos serviços de saúde e de pessoas experientes dentro e fora da família, que possam dar o apoio e o encorajamento necessário, näo só quanto à amamentaçäo mas também quanto ao próprio desmame fisiológico. Espera-se com esse trabalho incentivar a amamentaçäo, valorizando também a fase do desmame fisiológico, apoiando as mulheres-mäes e os profissionais de saúde que atuam na área, de tal forma que mäes e filhos sejam valorizados em suas necessidades e relaçöes desta täe importante fase da vida de ambos
