Ansiedade entre as pessoas surdas: um estudo teórico / Anxiety among deaf people: a theoretical study / Ansiedad entre las personas sordas: un estudio teórico

O objetivo deste estudo teórico foi discutir a influência da comunicação, do gênero, do nível educacional e das características da surdez sobre a ansiedade das pessoas surdas. Comunicação e características da surdez são constantes desencadeadores de ansiedade entre as pessoas surdas, pois são praticamente inerentes à surdez, o que requer estratégias comunicacionais eficazes e maior habilidade linguística para lidar com seus efeitos ansiogênicos. O nível educacional e o gênero são fortalecedores do desenvolvimento da ansiedade, porém, advêm de contextos externos ligados ao modelo de cuidado e aos valores recebidos na família e fora dela e à possibilidade de desenvolvimento educacional. Apesar de comum a todas as pessoas, a ansiedade apresenta desencadeadores específicos para as pessoas surdas, o que requer da família um maior suporte social e emocional, além do engajamento de profissionais e pesquisadores na busca por meios que protejam ou facilitem a vida das pessoas surdas contra a ansiedade

The purpose of this theoretical study was to show and discuss the influence of communication, gender, educational level and deafness characteristics on deaf people anxiety. Communication and deafness characteristics are constant anxiety triggers among deaf people, because are practically inherent to deafness, requiring effective communication strategies and greater linguistic ability to deal with their anxiogenic effects. Educational level and gender are empowered by the development of the anxiety, however, they derive from external contexts linked to the model of care and the values received in the family and outside of it and to the possibility of educational development. Although common to all people, anxiety presents specific triggers for deaf people, which requires a greater social and emotional support from the family, as well as the engagement of professionals and researchers in the search for ways that protect or facilitate the lives of deaf people against anxiety

La representación de la sordedad: el propio cuerpo y la confesión religiosa como agentes de socialización / The representation of deafness: the body and religion as agents of socialization

RESUMEN Se propone la identificación del cuerpo, la familia y la religión en los procesos de socialización de las personas sordas, a partir de la reflexión epistemológica del paradigma relacional simbólico en el marco del interaccionismo simbólico. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de corte longitudinal durante los años 2016 y 2017, que permitió el seguimiento de diez trayectorias de vida, elegidas a partir de una muestra de historias de sujetos sordos de la zona urbana en la ciudad de Bogotá (Colombia). Se seleccionaron personas adultas sordas que se identificaran en contextos que podrían ser descriptos a través del concepto de alternación, que tuvieran hijos de cualquier edad, que fueran usuarios de la lengua de señas y que vivenciaran procesos subjetivos relacionados con la cultura Sorda. En particular, emergen los escenarios de la religión y la salud en los que el cuerpo se resignifica en sujetos sordos adultos, planteando cuestionamientos sobre las intervenciones profesionales y dejando de lado la percepción excluyente para otorgarle al cuerpo un nuevo significado como agente socializador.

ABSTRACT The identification of the body as well as the family and religion in the socialization processes of deaf people are examined based in the epistemological reflection of the symbolic relational paradigm within the framework of symbolic interactionism. A longitudinal study was carried out during the years 2016 and 2017 following ten life trajectories, chosen from a sample of narratives of deaf subjects in the urban area of Bogotá (Colombia). Deaf adults who identified with contexts that could be described using the concept of alternation, had children of any age, were users of sign language and had experienced subjective processes related to Deaf culture were selected. In particular, situations of religion and health emerge in which the body is resignified in deaf adults, generating the questioning of professional interventions and discarding perceptions of exclusion in order to confer new meaning to the body as a socializing agent.

An exploration of deaf people's needs for smooth communication with doctors and nurses / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective This study was to explore deaf people's needs for a smooth communication with doctors and/or nurses during health consultation in the outpatient department or when being hospitalized and supply reference for compilation of sign language textbooks.Methods Purposive sampling was used and semi-structured interviews were conducted.Six deaf participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were interviewed.It lased for 20 to 40 minutes for each interview.Interviews were recorded digitally and then transcribed and validated.Transcripts were analyzed using a method of thematic analysis.Results Three themes were identified,i.e.needs for sign language interpreters,needs for information and knowledge.and needs for psychosocial and emotional support.Needs for sign language interpreters meant that doctors and nurses were able to communicate with them using simple sign language instead of terminology.The required information and knowledge covered three aspects,i.e.health condition,pharmaceutical therapy,and self-care activity.Conclusions There may exist serious communicative barriers for deaf people during their health consultation in the outpatient department or when being hospitalized.There is a need for healthcare professionals who are competent in sign language to establish the health delivery environment with minimal barriers.

Produção e compreensão do texto escrito: Um estudo junto a surdos universitários / Production and comprehension of written texts: A study of deaf university students

Em Fávero e Pimenta (2006), apontou-se que a dificuldade dos surdos na compreensão de problemas escritos de matemática relaciona-se ao uso inadequado da LIBRAS pelos profissionais da instituição escolar, como instrumento para a organização de significados semióticos e aquisição deconhecimentos. Com o intuito de estudar o significado das irregularidades apontadas na literatura arespeito da produção escrita dos surdos, analisamos a produção de 6 surdos escolarizados,5 universitários e 1 secundarista, entre 17 e 29 anos, 4 do sexo masculino e 2 do feminino, em resposta a um protocolo sobre a sua compreensão de um texto jornalístico e sobre sua concepção arespeito de suas competências e dificuldades no que diz respeito à produção e compreensão textual.Evidenciou-se que: os participantes desvalorizam suas próprias competências de produção ecompreensão textual; apresentam uma adequada compreensão do texto; utilizam o processamento visual na escrita. Reitera-se a defesa da língua de sinais como língua materna dos surdos e anecessidade de se considerar o processamento visual e o desenvolvimento da consciência sintática emorfossintática, na aquisição da segunda língua. Para tanto, defende-se a importância da pesquisa,tendo por método de investigação, o próprio procedimento de intervenção psicopedagógica, o quesignifica considerar a atividade mediada.

Fávero and Pimenta (2006) demonstrated that the difficulties that deaf individuals experience incomprehending written mathematical problems is related to teaching professionals inadequate use of Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) as an instrument for knowledge acquisition and for the organisation of symbolic meaning. In order to understand the irregularities observed in the literature regarding written production by deaf individuals, research was carried out involving six deaf subject saged between 17 and 29 (four male and two female), of which five were college students and one wasin secondary school. Subjects responded to a series of questions regarding comprehension of a newspaper article and evaluation of their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to textual production and comprehension. It was found that the subjects undervalued their textual production and comprehension skills, showed adequate textual comprehension and used visual processing in writing. Thus, the defence of sign language as the native language of deaf individuals is reiterated asis the need to take into account both visual processing and the development of syntactic and morphosyntactic awareness in the acquisition of a second language. We advocate further research which takes mediated activity into account, adopting the psycho-pedagogical intervention it self as the study method.
